Birthdays are meant to be celebrated. After all, we are all not getting any younger, and this exact moment is the youngest we will ever be. So why not treat yourself with a mouthful of cake, a bunch of friends, an overnight party, and glasses of champagne served on repeat? Or, on the contrary, shut yourself away from the world and hibernate the day you were born because it’s your birthday, and you can just as well cry if you want to.
But you see, humans are unpredictable beings and there’s always a chance the birthday celebration can go sour any moment. In fact, below we have a fair share of evidence that any birthday, even the cutest one, can be ruined by a little thing. Like a guest wearing a very inappropriate t-shirt or a dinosaur balloon meant as a birthday gift flying away into the space.
Scroll down through this Bored Panda list below that will surely provoke some mixed emotions and let us know if you've ever had your birthday ruined in the comment section!
