They are more ashamed than you for having to dance in an apron. I know I would.

>>11025477
I've had people do this, not in probably 7 years.

I didn't hate it, it was okay, I didn't dance with them, but I had beer. It was my 21st. I'm glad people at least tried then.

>>11025489
Normies don't know what the word "shame" even means.

>>11025489
That's exactly why I hate this kind of shit. I know how unenthusiastic they feel, and I don't even like sweets, much less free ones from a restaurant like Chili's.

>>11025477
This looks even more soul crushing than my job.

>>11025477
Oh my god this reminds me of something I'm still so angry about
> Have crazy uncle
> Younger brother of my dad, has some mental problems.
> Every time we go out to dinner with him, the waitstaff comes in singing happy birthday to me
> It's not even my birthday
> It never is
> First time it happens, we make nothing of it.
> Second time it happens, we start asking questions
> Crazy uncle reveals he's been lying to the waitstaff about it being my birthday every time we go somewhere, just so that I'd get free cake or flan or whatever.
> mfw

Seriously, why the fuck would you do that to a bunch of minimum wage workers? You exploit their charity and kindness in this way? I've been eating free cake purchased with LIES? What does that make me?

On my 18th mum told the wait staff that I was turning 18. And she brought out a cake mum made and there was a LONG table next to us with like maybe 20, 40+ year olds.
Everyone started singing happy birthday in the restaurant. It was so embarrassing but it was nice everyone just stopped eating to sing

>>11025724
>has some mental problems
i think you answered your own question

>>11025724
You are like the no fun sour puss in a cheesy comedy movie. Take it from someone who worked in American restaurants. Your food is cooked by violently insane and kind psychopaths and 8/10 servers are drug abusers or alcoholics. The other 2 are managers who literally have no souls and attempt to rape everything both literally and figuratively.

>>11026568
I worked in american restaurants too, (or american fast food joints at least), and your ridiculous and unfounded slander -- even if half true -- is no excuse to be ripping off these people

>>11026703
Not even comparable. Not an excuse. It is kind of sweet how caring you are. "Scamming" some free desert and a song is the least of our worries and even if it was we would crave it. Restaurants are where you learn how to hate and it becomes addicting. It turns me on just thinking about how I wished those families would suffer horrible accidents so the children would be orphans. Hitler was right but chose the wrong people. Restaurant workers are the real vermin that need to be gassed. Every day I do not receive proper justice I will commit atrocities.

>>11025477
I just feel real bad for the employees who HAVE to do this shit. I'd quit the first time they told me to do it.

>>11025919
cute kot senpai

>>11025477
>Turning 15
>Go out a steak house as a treat
>My boomer dad is fucking giddy with excitement
>Can see him talk to the waitstaff
>Turn to my older cousin who half-raised me
>He has his head in his hands
>Realise what he's doing as he takes candles out of his pocket and hands them to one of the waiters
>Just try to eat as fast as possible
>Cousin gets up and disappears for a few moments
>At the end of the meal, one of the really cute waitresses comes out with a slice of cake and candle to wish me a happy birthday
>Dad is just about losing it
>Gets up to go speak to their manager
>Cousin stops him
>They go outside and argue
>Dad shoves him and sticks his finger in his face, yelling something
>Collect the cake and go

My dad pulled the same shit the next year and I had to sit there as 50+ people stared at me while the staff sang. They didn't stop staring until I ate the fucking cake slice. This kind of behaviour should be punished by public flogging.

>>11026935
I know this feel. Luckily this hasn't happy to me but your dad sounds about as obnoxious and as lacking self awareness as my dad

>>11025477
>tfw I never eat out in my birthdays

is it common for americans to put their relatives in humilliating social situations?

Actual true story inbound:

>be me
>17 at the time on my birthday
>beta loser who can't get laid for the life of him
>pathological fear of girls since middle school, when some bitch mind fucked me
>have a younger sister, 16 at this time
>my sister is boy crazy, really wants to date someone
>announces that she's "seeing someone"
>father and I start discussing plans on how to shoot the bastard.
>few days later, brings the dude home
>tall, scrawny kid with brown hair and glasses
>visibly nervous
>my father and I sit down and tell him that he's "walked into the courtroom"
>discuss for a few minutes
>they go out
>dad tells me "it isn't going to last"
>sis comes home
>announces it was "fun"
>around a week later, my sister tells me that her bf previously dated a college girl
>she's worried that he secretly wants this college girl back
>about a week later, overhear a conversation between my sister and my mother
>"We're not a thing anymore"
>tryingtoholdbacklaughter.jpg
>tell my father this
>laughs uncontrollably
>mfw my dad predicted exactly how his daughter's first relationship would go down

>>11028648
That's common for all nations, anon. I call it generational vengeance.

>>11028669
congrats on your sister being a coal burner anon

>>11025477
Not at a restaurant, but I have a similar story

>be 26 yo boomer
>older sister wants to throw me a birthday party
>I hate her parties
>tell her no
>she begs and begs and I still say no
>tell her I won't come if she did throw one
>day of 27th birthday
>she invites me over to her house
>its obvious she has a surprise party waiting for me
>tell her I'm not coming over
>she calls me a few hours later drunk yelling at me
>turn off my phone
>next day my nephew told me that she invited several family members, set up an extravagant party, and started getting piss drunk when she found out I wasn't coming
>everybody was just sitting around a Mario Kart birthday cake for a 27 yo that never showed up
>she still thinks I was in the wrong

I don't even play Mario Kart

>>11025477
i had two birthday parties at hooters when I was like 14-16

>>11028798
She just wanted to do something nice for you anon. Why you have to be such a fag?

>>11028846
there is a fine line

>>11028846
I don't want it you incel

>>11028798

How much of an autist do you have to be to:

>Not indulge your sister for a couple hours and then just pretend like you have plans and have to leave
>Have your sister's default idea for a cake she thinks you might like is a Mario Kart cake at 26/27, despite not liking Mario Kart

Jesus man.

>>11028798
you are a terrible person
just so you know

>>11028941
>>11028846
>>11028925

Why is it anon's fault? He made it perfectly clear what his preferences were well in advance. Surely it is the sister's fault for not realizing that no means no? I mean, it's one thing if anon bailed last minute or something like that, but no: intentions were made clear far in advance.

>>11028798
you're fine
did nothing wrong. then next year she'd do it again and again and again. it's your day, not hers. you don't like parties you shouldn't have to endure parties or relatives you could give less fucks about
no "good" deed goes unpunished

>>11028941
>terrible person for resisting birthday party rape

>>11028798
oh yeah, the crazy actions of an alcoholic.
she needs your help anon.

>>11028846
>>11028925
>>11028941
I bet you cucks willingly sit through high school graduations

Betas like you don't need to reproduce

>>11028974
>heh im a Real Rick!

>>11028973
She's not an alcoholic. She started drinking earlier that day cause my other sister who is an actual alcoholic came down and got her to drink with her
My alcoholic sister drove an hour to get there with her kids in the back drinking the entire time

>>11028949
its incredibly selfish to be so cruel towards your family that loves you and just wants to spend time with you, even if the way they go about it is annoying to you. all Anon had to do was just show up for an hour or so and eat 1 piece of fucking cake, and he couldn't even do that for his family. you might as well tell them you hate them and wish they were dead. what a fucking Scrooge I mean god damn

>>11028993
Isn't it just as cruel for the family to expect anon to attend a function that he clearly wants nothing to do with? why does anon have to bow to sister's wishes, rather than the other way around?

>>11028949
I never said it was anon's fault. Obviously, her sister is retarded enough to not notice that he hates her parties. But bearing with her shit one day a year won't kill him.

>>11029022
>its cruel for your family to want to spend time with their brother/son/grandson/nephew/etc

>>11029029
the misleading greentext fairy strikes again!

It's not about spending time, it's about subjecting someone to a silly party with all the associated theatrics.

>>11028949
>>11029028
Unless she's a fucking hypocrite that treats him like shit the rest of the year.

>>11029028
this
I'm sure he just spent the time during the party shitposting on 4chan anyway

>>11029037
well maybe they should tell their family what they would enjoy doing, instead of a cake and balloons party. I'm sure they would want to accommodate Anon's interests

but I guarantee Anon is a jerk who never talks to his family unless he absolutely has to, no wonder they dont know he doesn't like Mario Kart.

>>11029022
it's a women thing. often times when they say no they actually want you to insist a bit more until they say yes, which is not the way the male brain works so these confusions often times occur

I remember something like this happened to me once and I actually went to the party but after it was over I had a one-one with the responsible and asked her never again fuck up the day I hold most dear in the year.

My family knows me well enough that they've never pulled this shit during birthday dinners since I clearly asked them not to and I thank them every time

>>11028669
Ive seen this copypasta somewhere

>>11028727
Do you even know what a coal burner is

>>11028669
>shoot the bastard
>walked in the court room
I'm so glad the only girl I've ever actually dated long enough to warrant meeting the family didn't make me see her parents. I just showed up on thanksgiving once, were bored out our minds and then left to chill at our own place. You just sound so fucking gay that I would insist on never meeting you again and I'm glad this guy fucking missed out on this train wreck

>>11029022
this man speaks the truth
GAMERS RISE UP
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

>>11029062
Not every family was perfect like yours. Sorry mommy didn't have the foresight to abort me when she wasn't in the position in life to have a kid and my childhood was filled with nothing but abuse and heartbreak. Then, I still am expected to accept the people that made me who I am today. I'm trying to recover, don't rope me into your bullshit ever again mom. I'm an adult now. I'm self-reliant. People shouldn't have to pretend to enjoy their family's company. Everything is already fake as is.

>>11029237
no family is perfect
you are still a jerk

I'm sure most of the time you're being ironic here. But even bearing that in mind, it sounds like your hatred is genuine.

So under that assumption, I'd say the problem wasn't the other people. The problem was probably you.

I'm starting to think that most of the people you worked with weren't actually assholes at all. There were maybe one or two jerks, but I doubt they were anywhere near as bad as you say they were.

As to how caring I am, it's hard for me to tell whether you meant that as an insult. You do sound like the kind of person who would regard "It is kind of sweet how caring you are" as an insult. But if the world was full of more caring people, it would be a better world. And I think we should all try to act in the way that we'd want other people to act. Kind of like Kant's categorical imperative, if you will.

The jungle may favor dog-eat-dog morality. But if everyone followed that logic, it would be a horrible, horrible world indeed. So we might as well try to care for one another. Bring some kindness into the world. Strike a match in the dark. That, at least, would make life a little more bearable

>>11028637
>tfw I never eat out in my birthdays
I know that feel. I've worked in the evening for the last 8 birthdays.
>at least I have a job

>>11029237
>fuck you mom i never asked to be born
i hate /r9k/ so much
dumb frogposter

>>11029237
>People shouldn't have to pretend to enjoy their family's company
Amen to that
>Hear that my uncle stole 50k from my grandmother
>for some reason she hasn't fucking disowned him
>christmas comes around
>have dinner with family
>uncle comes along un-announced, brings gold digger whore and her retarded child
>everyone pretends to not be upset, and shit-talks whenever they're not in the room
I called him a thief and told them to fuck off and suddenly everyone who was shit-talking as saying they absolutely despise him, and have no clue why he doesn't just leave and kill himself, jumps to his defense and starts treating me like shit
>wow who cares that he stole five years of your grandmothers life savings, why do you have to ruin christmas?
This is the same uncle that stole my videogame consoles when I was a kid and pawned them for drug money, got my grandfather to help get him a job and immediately tried to rob somebody at the workplace, getting him and my grandfather fired, constantly steals and breaks the powertools and equipment that my grandfather spends his hard-earned money on, and just generally acts like a cunt to every single person he knows.

I'm done. It's better I have no contact with my family at all that watch them be treated like shit and walked over again and again without learning a fucking thing.

>>11028925
lol this

>>11025477
>be me.
>family never gave a shit.
>haven't had a birthday cake since I was 7, so about 23 years.
>never had to deal with this shit ever.

Feels pretty fucking good. I've seen people turn bright red over this shit.

>>11025724
I go to restaurant on my birthday many times in really nice resturant , but the cake they give you at the end are shit no matter how good is the resturant, i went to some fancy one but the cake always feel off compare to the food they have there, so I usually skip the free cake to make sure my experience ended with the food I paid there.

>>11030874
I know that feel bro. Family relationships are absurd and unpleasant. Go read some Kafka, it will make you feel better.

>>11028798
Both of you are in the wrong here. Your sister for not getting that no means no (ironic seeing as how often women bitch about this) but you're also at fault for not realising how much drama your stubbornness would cause for everyone

>>11032468
god i wish that were me

>>11025477
Last time this happened they got me so drunk. I got arrested because nobody gave me a ride home.

They all insisted they'd get me home, but none did.
