Being an ex-Jehovah’s Witness, people remembering my birthday just makes me feel awkward.
Haven’t killed anybody for it though…yet.
Right back atcha.
My SO did forget (boy, will I get him for that!) so yours is the only one I’ve had today.

Don’t do it Roddy!! It’s not worth it!
There was a story a few years ago about an elderly woman who lit her husband of 60+ years on fire because he ate the ears off her chocolate easter rabbit.
Stabbing because of a missed birthday seems mild in comparison…
Now that’s just hareible.
My husband was planning on taking a road trip over the weekend of my birthday. Now, generally I don’t want a huge fuss, but I DO want someone around, I don’t want to spend it totally alone. The trip could have been taken at any time, but noooooo, he thought that that particular weekend was THE perfect time.
I showed him this thread. We’ll see what happens in a month or so.
All together now… Ooooooh!
I posit the following scenario: The man was a brilliant scientist who had been forced by the government to do advanced weapons research. His wife was a government agent keeping him in line, though he didn’t know this. Some time before this he had expressed desires to go to another country and get out of the dirty business; his wife was ordered to terminate him, and this cover story is the result.
Either that or, Jesus, and we wonder why the birthrate in Russia is in decline.
Not on stories like this. Its the rag that all the Middle England housewives read.
Unless you’re that guy.
That made me laugh 
Classic!
White people is crazy.
Well, at least the greeting card industry has a new poster girl.
I was going to respond to the OP with, “Psssst, buddy! It’s in the Daily Mail, so it probably didn’t happen.” Then I saw AK84’s post and decided to do a little digging.
This is the “Google Translate” version of the article (I have made a few corrections for clarity’s sake):
*In Astrakhan, a woman who killed her husband who did not give her flowers for her birthday will be judged.
Lala Tupikova faces up to 20 years in prison
Family drama played out in the Volga settlement of Funtova Privolzhskogo in the Astrakhan region. On May 6, 45-year-old Lala Tupikova celebrated her birthday. However, 50-year-old husband Lyali completely forgot about the date and came home not only without a gift, but even without flowers. The woman held her offense, but still covered the festive table and she sat down to supper with her husband. But in the midst of a feast again overcame her resentment against greedy and forgetful husband. Grabbing a knife, she struck him several times in the shoulder, one of which was fatal.
- The investigation has gathered enough evidence, and the 45-year-old Lala Tupikova pleaded guilty. A criminal case under article “murder” to the court, which will soon sentence the woman - reported in “Komsomolskaya Pravda” in the press-service of SU TFR in the Astrakhan region.*

Well, whaddya know? Apparently, it did happen. This means I can no longer practice the wholesale dismissal of anything published in the Daily Mail. Dang!
I met my SO online, we started talking just before Valentines day. Our first date was going to be on Valentine’s day, but she said that was just cruel, too much pressure on a dude. So it was the day after, DAYTONA 500 day. Thankfully she had the shits and we only got in a lunch, I got to see the end of the race.
I’m not sure what happened the next weekend. I was “busy” and had to get somebody to feed and water my dogs.
Killing somebody, that’s a wee bit crazy, she was going to kill him anyways and was looking for an excuse. You ignore a woman’s birthday, they get pissed, you acknowledge it they get pissed because you’re celebrating them getting old. You can’t win, but getting killed over it kind of sucks.
29, they are always turning 29. No more than 29 candles ever, act surprised that they are 36!!! even if they are just as old as you, they are always 29. Keeps you from getting killed.
I don’t know why this is not a public service message?
It should be a commercial during every single football game, it would avoid much carnage, SHE IS 29!!! Buy her something useless and shiny. That seems to make them happy, then they can bitch that you are broke and won’t buy them a Porsche, for some reason that also seems to make them happy. I’m not sure if they are happy you’re broke from dumping massive coin on them or they just like bitching.
You sound single.
Three days later and still nothing.
I am in the market for deliciously evil revenge scenarios. Nothing violent or permanently damaging, just sneaky and evil.
Paging **Skald **or anyone else with “the” in their user name.

apropos of nothing, Ms. Tupikova’s last name is closely etymologically related to the concept of “dead end” and also sounds a bit like “stupid/dumb”. Anyway, it’s kinda funny, as far as names go.
Hey doc, what’s a Freudian slip?
It’s when you say one thing but you mean another.
Oh, that happened to me once. I meant to say, “Honey you forgot my birthday,” but it came out “I hate your stinking guts and I hope you slowly drown in your own fucking blood as I slice through your lungs with this butcher knife.”
According to my wife, some husbands just need killing.
Generally, I don’t like to disagree with her, but in this case I also didn’t disagree with her.
