    Just after speaking to a friend of mine, it's his birthday today, he reckons it's the worst day of the year to have as a birthday, he reckons even if it was Christmas day or around then people would be in better form, a few days later and people would be used to being back to work.

    I tend to agree with him, everyone is down cause of going back to work/sick of going out/no money left, even if his birthday was yesterday (Bank Holiday) or tomorrow (second day back to work). The other options that I would see as bad would be around the 1st of September (schools going back) although that wouldn't be an issue once you grow older, the 25th of December cause of the dreaded double gift. Anyone any thoughts on the worst day of the year to have as your birthday?

    Is he a 12yr old girl?

    A man doesn't need to celebrate his birthday.

    Slightly ironic thread given the numbers in my username are reference to my birthday!! :o

    Can be a bit of a hassle but I don't usually do much for my birthday anyway!

    Your birthday falling on Good Friday wouldn't be much fun with the pubs and clubs closed :(

    It's only a once off, Good Friday is a different date every year, in fact I'd say it'd be a good night to throw a party.

    I'd say the worst is 29th Feb or christmas day.
    Mine's 5 days after christmas, and the day before new years eve - so it's pretty crap both for presents with everyone being broke, and for getting people to go out as they're saving themselves for new years.

    I stopped caring about my birthday when I reached about 12 so I dunno. grown adults who make a big deal and demand a night out because they survived another 12 months, big whoop.

    My 18th fell on Good Friday, first drink of the legal age was down the beach. Ended up being a good session though.

    I agree Krudler, but some people are different, I reckon it's down to how the family treats the events, in my family birthdays/Mother's & Father's Day aren't big deals, in Mrs. Clareman's family they are huge events, they all get each other presents, in my family we don't buy each other presents and don't bother with Mother's/Father's day.

    Mine is today! I'm 25.

    Anyways, I don't think the 3rd of January is the worst day. For me it means the Festive season extends until the 3rd of January, rather than ending on the 31st Dec/1st Jan as it is for most people. Plus people know my birthday is 9 days after Christmas so they have that on their mind when thinking of presents.

    Mine is the 21st December, pretty shite with the whole double present thing. The close family don't do it to me but everyone else does, bloody hate it!

    The mothers is christmas day, she turned 40 this year and had her first ever birthday party, bless! Hers is obviously worse than mine but they both still suck!

    Any day in January, people are miserable and are broke after Christmas.

    I disagree, mine is the 24th of Jan and its just the right time to be getting some cash from presents to tide me over until the end of the month as a lot of January's wages end up spent over christmas.

    Isn't the 16th of January the most depressing day of the year or something? Something to do with the weather, distance to holiday, pay day, etc. etc. When I used to get paid monthly I used to hate the gap till the January pay day, used to always get paid a week early for Christmas so it made it even longer between pay packets.

    Surely summer bdays would be worse as a lot of your your mates would all be on holidays so you could forget about having a decent party.

    Mines the first of July. Usually good weather for a boat trip and a barbecue, nice start to the summer every year.

    Summer holiday time could be bad when you were very young cause all your friends might be gone away, but the 3rd of January was always Christmas holiday time so the same problems, you wouldn't be able to go outside to play for your birthday either

    I care - It makes me very anxious because it means I'm closer to death, or worse - old age - and I haven't done so many things, and time is flashing by, and what have I to show for myself, what have I achieved? Deep breaths.

    Just talking to Mrs. Clareman, her sister every year takes a week off work for her birthday, the first weekend she goes away with her friends somewhere, the second weekend she goes away with her boyfriend, she's expects her boyfriend to wait on her hand and foot for the whole week she's off as well, she went loopey last year when he had a match and broke his hand
