I was just talking to my best friend and she's going to Zimbabwe for a couple of weeks next month. She was told she can bring a friend and she's chosen to bring a friend from college she's known 6 months. I thought she was going to ask me when she rang, we've been best friends for 16 years!
To make matters worse she said the reason they chose the two weeks they're going is because nothing important is happening then. In other words, she's completely forgotten my 21st birthday is during the second week she's away! We were supposed to be organising a party together and she's completely forgotten.
I didn't remind her when she rang. It didn't feel right. But I'm really hurt by the fact that she didn't invite me or remember my birthday's coming up.
Am I being unreasonable thinking this?

Hello, welcome to sarcasm.
If you seriously thought I was advising her to do this then you are more of an idiot than I gave you credit for.

my arguement made sense though, and didn't resort to daft rubbish about fridge magnets.

I'm going to deal with this the borat way:
Yeah, well at least I have a brain to feed semi-intelligable thoughts to my mouth, rather than getting all my ideas from randomely assembled fridge magnet letters.

Hmmm, I don't normally get wound up by anything, but you're obviously so high on your own self righteousness that it's hard for others to tell whether you're ass is talking or your mouth.

Okay. Sit there and brood.
Spend the next three weeks worrying about if your best friend of 16 years really likes you, or if she ever really liked you at all. Have some sleepless nights, don't concentrate properly on anything because your mind is too full of concern and self doubt, and then wish you had got it out in the open three weeks ago; when you could have at least knew where you stood.

I don't think it would bother me so much if it hadn't been such a tough year for me and I hadn't been looking forward to my birthday so much. It's just really irritating the hell out of me now.
Some friend, O can remember the birthday's of almost everyone in my Primary school's class, including the people wholeft in primary 3 etc.
Yet your best (I think, I can't remember) friend can't remember your birthday?
I'd be gutted.
As for my advice, don't lissten to Borat.

it isn't really revenge, it's the only way she'll know what it is like, and how much it has bothered you.
maybe it's just me, my birthday is so close to christmas, it doesn't really get celebrated, as everyone (myself included) is too busy getting money together for christmas.
someone forgetting my birthday wouldn't bother me as much as someone knowing it was, and making other plans regardless

How stupid of me. I'd forgotton that the general public were so saturated in their stupidity that their only course of action would be to cross their arms, stamp their feet and pretend the other person doesn't exist.
It will REALLY help.
