Fuck You Birthday song at restaurants!

[Myhairygrundle]

I just want to go and have a nice dinner. The waitstaff have to come out every 5 minutes and sing the birthday song and rune my nachos!

And it's not even the traditional "Happy Birthday to you" song, you have to be different and have a 10 minute version and try to get everyone to clap.

I just want a peaceful dinner in this fucking town without being bothered by birthday songs, kids selling shit, or mariachis!

Fuck you birthday song!


*small disclamer...it's OK to sing to Jimmy.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthdayyy ay ay ay :clap: :clap: :clap: ....

Fuck that shit, great post...

Was it an Olive Garden by any chance? That shit has got out of hand. It's not even just for lil kids anymore.

[Fendbass22]

I think its great that all the wait staff has to sing some corporate birthday song just to make tips.

[Arch Stanton]

get a hold of the movie Waiting.

[Mother Shucker]

It has been 18 years since I tended bar at Bennigans, but here it goes:

Happy happy birthday, on this your special day.
Happy happy birthday, it's what we're her to say.
Happy hapyy birthday, (lock arms, and sway side to side) may all your dreams come true.
Happy happy birthday, from Bennigans to you.

hahaha, i hate that shit too, i wont even go near that type of establishment on my birthday...just to avoid having to go to jail for stabbing the person responsible for telling the idiot wait staff it was my birthday

Hell, I avoid them ALL THE TIME. It's like a tired radio bit that everybody needs to do. wocka wocka! ba-ba-booey ba-ba-booey!

[Death Metal Moe]

I couldn't agree more with this thread. That singing is THE WORST. My fucking band knew I didn't like it, and one year at a my birthday dinner while I was taking a piss they told the waitress it was my birthday. It was a good joke but I was furious.

Japanese steakhouses are the worst.

No...

Bennigans.

Bennigans.


I would have to say here that Mexican places are the worstest!

They come out wearing somberos using all kinds of noise makers. Then they sing in English and Spanish! Haaapeeee beeerthday to youez!

It really pisses me off when the waitstaff comes running out from the kitchen screaming like there's a fucking fire! But they are only yelling for the burfday song.

I've tried that, instead my family & friends will lie on another day & say its my birthday to get them to sing that stupid ass song to me.

I kinda don't mind Olive Garden because their cake is really good. Smehow that makes it okay in my eyes. Haha.

[Taso]

Ha, I am usually the dickhead friend who tells the waiter its someones birthday. As for my birthday, my friends usually cant get me, because i basically dont celebrate my birthday, no one knows it, nor do i care to tell people, if it wasnt for my mom telling me happy birthday, i would forget it every year.

[Glenn Dandy]

when i was a kid hanging in the mall..... we would p[ick some douchy looking ass on a date or some shit at this place called Farrells... they did the big bass drum and confetti shit... well anyway we would find some lame looking asshole and tell the staff.." Hey that Heimy,,, Its his birthday" OMFG laugh our balls off drums HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIMY< HAPPY HAPPY... we loffed n loffed.

Another great mall trick is sit in the bathroom stall and melt a chocolate bar in your hand and reach under to the guy next to you.. "HEy gotta any paper over there?"

We were lil pricks,,, but was always funny.

[Madness]

Ugh.... my fucking friends got me with that one last year. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die after having that crappy song sung at me.

[NuttyJim]

thats the worst...you get one of your shitbag friends that tells some punk kid at the restaurant that its your b-day and before you know it the fuckers are surrounding you in full force and they already got you trying to stand on a fuckin chair while everyone in the joint is lookin at you

[Coffee Diva]

And it's not even the traditional "Happy Birthday to you" song, you have to be different and have a 10 minute version and try to get everyone to clap.

They're not trying to be different, they're trying to be cheap. The real "Happy Birthday" song is still copyrighted, so they'd have to pay royalties if they sang it.

In any case, I find that when presented with such a situation, the best way to handle it is to give a wave of the hand to the free cupcake or whatever shit it is they bring you, and instead loudly demand a blowjob from the cutest waitress in the bunch.

Well, okay, I've never done that. But I'd like to.

Farrell's in Brunswick Square Mall? I remember that place. Your post brings back some old memories I have of it. I hated all of the birthday junk they did there, even when I was a kid.

[bym051d]

And a big FU to the waiters who try to "adult it up" by adding "may all your sex be good."

These are the reasons I cook at home on my birthday.

[NightStalker3]

I endured one of these tonight. Ugh.

[Monstercloud]

My last birthday i went to this italian resturant. I told my parents, VERY SPECIFICLY not to mention my birthday. I especially have to tell my mom because she's one of those women who loves to make small talk. So of course she slips it out, and she knows she does, becuase she said, "but he doesn't want anything special". So of course 4 waitressess comes out singing happy birthday in italian.

This time, i'm going down to Disney for my 20th birthday. If she dares mentions it to anyone, i will have to kill her.

Im further souf.... Deptford, NJ... but its Ruby Tuesdays these days. gotta go back 23 years to make me a kid at the mall. when Farrells was around.:icon_sad:

[weakside]

What's really great about this is when the group comes out to do their stupid little song there is always that one guy in the back who is just mouthing the words and could not look more fucking disgusted to be out there. I want to just stand up, point directly at him, and laugh my ass off.

[Myhairygrundle]

I just had to bump this thing.

Mrs. Hairygrundle and I were at Hooters last night to get some beers and wings. They now have a "birthday siren!"

I swear the thing sounds like a fucking fire truck. I know it's Hooters and they sing the stupid song, but the siren and screaming bimbos have got to go!

But the song was still annoying.

[Kid Brock]

My family has known better for years not to pull that shit on me. Even when I was like 12 years old they knew I could become a problem if I heard that stupid song. All you have to do is threaten to flip over the table your at if they come out and sing, that usually keeps them away.

[absinthe]

I refuse to go to these places on my or any of my friends birthdays. I hope they all slip on the way out and paralyze themselves.

my parents took me out to for my 21st to applebees that has a horrid birthday song...i told them if they sing to me im burning the house down....needless to say i was not sung too

[thegreenninja]

I cook in one of those shithole restaurants, and whenever I hear that song coming from out front, I always join and yell "happy, happy birthday, hope you die of cancer!" Hearing that douchy song always makes me cringe, and I always feel sorry for the jaded waitstaff that has to sing that drivel.

[patbattlefield]

wow this is the most annoying thing at a restaraunt. my mom thought it would be funny to do it to me and in the middle of their song i walked out to the bathroom.
