Well.. my birthday was the 9th September. Where I received a gift from my girlfriend, thoughtful as it was. That.. was the only thing that happened besides a bunch of congrats from people who couldn't seem less invested. I presume that only getting one gift, and not even one from your parents is rather shitty to put it mildly. I didn't even get a party. Where after 5 days, my mother's birthday came and they threw a big party for her, and a bunch of people came. She got showered in gifts.
...And you think you had a bad birthday. Pffft.
If I was still a kid, I'd care more. But now I have a paycheck and it usually covers everything I need anyhow. That and it spares me the need to buy more than one birthday gift. In retrospect though, it's hard to beat such a pathetic birthday, considering it was more like a day where people give me phonecalls much more frequently. My girlfriend felt so bad she actually offered to buy me another gift, just because she felt sorry for me.
All in all. It really wasn't much different from a normal day. I didn't quite realize how pathethic it really was until 5 days later, though. I actually presumed our friends and family didn't really give two shits about us. Apparently it was just me. I'm a sad... sad individual.
