"You’re at a birthday dinner. The birthday girl doesn’t like her cake and does this…"
We are not sure how to respond to this reaction...
We are all for celebrating special occasions, they remind us of the good in life, especially birthdays, as they are a time to celebrate friendships, our journey thus far, and reflecting on what it is we want for the future.
Sometimes it can be stressful, dealing with getting a year older. Perhaps you are not where you want to be and that can be nerve-wracking, no doubt, but that's no reason to act out...
We have heard of birthday parties going wrong, but this one seemed to be on account of the birthday woman, who seriously wasn't happy with her birthday cake. Although it looked quite lovely in the video, she certainly wasn't afraid of sharing her dislike.
What started off as the moment where she was about to be celebrated by her friends, turned dramatic quite quickly when she decided to push the cake off the table, in quite an aggressive manner, too...

The video was first posted on TikTok, and the above was shared on Twitter. The conversation on the TikTok post showed that the birthday girl was unhappy with the way her birthday cake turned out and therefore reacted the way she did. Many people commented that she was behaving in a spoilt way, and that they would've have left if they were there...
The person who posted the video to TikTok was a friend of the birthday girl. And as people commented saying that she has issues, the birthday girl came to the post and admitted that she did have issues. In fact, she shared that she was pregnant and her hormones were all over the place...
Uh, that's scary...
The post on Twitter allowed people to share their own experiences with people not being grateful for birthday surprises. One man in particular shared quite a sad story about his ex, when he said the following:
This reminds me of when I went all out for my ex. Bought her a car, a 4 level cake, a Telfar bag, a Gucci belt, & 12 pairs of Balenciagas for her surprise birthday party. She showed up drunk on the phone arguing with her side-ngga & pulled her pants down & peed on top of the cake

Whatever the reason, it's important to practice the pause, people. Once you act without thinking, there's no taking it back. So keep it cool and think it through before acting out...
It takes a second to ruin a moment, but that memory can last a lifetime.
So think before you act...
