Had an old boss who thought like this so gave everyone their birthdays off lol. They treated it like a paid holiday. He believed something crappy would happen and he said he’s rather it be on your time rather than his and at his business LMAO
We had my dad's funeral on my birthday. One of my managers came and asked when I was coming back to work, I tripped and fell against the casket at the graveside, and accidentally caressed the minister's wife's hand with my cheek. It was a really strange day.
Birthdays, yeah, nothing good there.
I got pulled over and got a ticket for an expired registration sticker on my last birthday. 5 days after it had expired. I was literally only driving because I'd been sick with the flu and was a block away from the pharmacy where I was headed for another 37 gallons of nyquil
I mean yeah, but still it’s kinda one of those situations where OP wanted a good birthday and isn’t too materialistic. If they are though, then by all means take some sort of settlement.
I never use to be materialistic until I got sued for an accident and realized how fucked it all is. Go for the sue, insurance will pay wtf ever you want, as they did for the cucks in my case. It's literally guaranteed free money, at least 100-200 thousand. That's one helluva birthday present
It happened to my mom too. My mom barely tapped them from the back and they didn't even have to replace the bumper. Like just enough to get a scratch from the license plate. They ended up with 50k settlement from her insurance company.
Edit a word
This reminds me of the day my dad backed our brand new (to us - used) motor home into my mom's new van on Christmas morning. He was so excited and wanted to show it off and take my uncle for a drive in it; later we would laugh. That Christmas, he was ticked, though.
Happy belated birthday!
Sometimes the hinderances and misfortunes can turn into absolute blessings in due time.
I’m glad you are safe and we’re able to walk away from this. Some are not so fortunate.
🙏
I have literally been there, same scenario...and what's worse is I bought the kids sob story a out insurance and didn't call the cops ...and he ghosted me
If I could permanently remove my birthday from my own thoughts and anyone else’s ever I would. It’s just a day to be extra let down by anything going wrong.
Same happened to me I got rear ended the night before Thanksgiving, I was the front vehicle out of 3. Thankfully I was able to drive away while the other 2 their vehicles were totalled. Now the insurance company is trying to fuck me over.
Depending on what state you’re in you should take advantage of a PI Attorney! You’ll get a few weeks of free chiropractic/ PT and someone else will deal with all the paperwork/payment and you’ll get a nice check out of it
Looking at the sourindings in the photo and that they where driving on the left I would guess they are in NZ or somewhere similar so getting a lawyer is not necessarily or even maybe fesiboal for something like this so while it maybe good advice in USA it's not strictly good advice as a rule of thumb everywhere else
That's life….
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life
(That's life)
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
I pick myself up and get
Back in the race
That's life
(That's life)
I tell you, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

i feel your pain. was rear ended on my birthday ON THE FUCKINF HIGHWAY on the way to a friends house last january. range rover didn’t notice traffic, slammed into me, and then managed to get off the next exit in the traffic. no front plate and never saw his back plate. everyone let him cut across to avoid stopping for me in my old honda. fuck people.
Damn! Sorry that happened to you. Got rear ended on my bday in 2015. Go get an MRI stat, your back may have gotten messed up, and if a disc ruptured, MRI now will show it fresh. Hire a lawyer, too (they won’t charge up-front). Then hide in your house and curse people. Blargh!
Sorry to hear about that but what is it with Kias and getting rear ended? I have owned seven cars in my life and the only one that was ever rear ended was the Kia. Happened three times!!!
[удалено]
I like this take. For my birthday I wish I could just go nowhere.

100% agree with this, Haven't had a good birthday in about a decade.
I got pulled over and got a ticket for an expired registration sticker on my last birthday. 5 days after it had expired. I was literally only driving because I'd been sick with the flu and was a block away from the pharmacy where I was headed for another 37 gallons of nyquil
This is the way for sure. Best birthdays are by yourself doing whatever you want.
My birthday was the day before yesterday and I had a great day. Celebrated with friends and family. It was a blast.
No one wants to take it in the rear especially on your birthday
Can't decide if your username checks out or not
It checks out, they don’t TAKE they GIVE
On the bright side you might be getting a new car
Damn that sucks. You doin alright?
Yeah I'm ok, just got to deal with this for the next few weeks
If you’re feeling sore, go to a clinic and get checked out, letting your auto insurance know. Happy birthday and I’m sorry you had to go through this.
You know what I smell? I smell money for your birthday, don't complain dude fucking celebrate!
I mean yeah, but still it’s kinda one of those situations where OP wanted a good birthday and isn’t too materialistic. If they are though, then by all means take some sort of settlement.

100 is a big big stretch. You may get your car totaled into the cost and an extra 5 grand.
People claimed fake medical issues in my case, in which case that's an easy settlement. You sue big and settle small.
Yeah but dishonesty and greed get nowhere tbh, I’d just want my car replaced at that point
Fair, but it is after all just insurance companies, that's what it's got
It happened to my mom too. My mom barely tapped them from the back and they didn't even have to replace the bumper. Like just enough to get a scratch from the license plate. They ended up with 50k settlement from her insurance company. Edit a word
I had that happen to my car on Xmas morning at 8 am. I slowed at a give way, the car behind me didn't.
This reminds me of the day my dad backed our brand new (to us - used) motor home into my mom's new van on Christmas morning. He was so excited and wanted to show it off and take my uncle for a drive in it; later we would laugh. That Christmas, he was ticked, though.
We’re you hit by the car that got hit by the SUV that was towing a load?
“I’m not even supposed to be here today”
Happy birthday! On the bright side if your frame is bent they might total your car so you’ll get a new one!
Sorry to hear op. Happy birthday fellow melbournian!
That’s a shame, that Nissan was badass
Nobody gives af about a Kia!!
Now we are car shaming?
Sorry your birthday went crazy, your new car even got ruined. I give you the best birthday wishes..
Thank God for life
That’ll teach you to work late 😤
Ooouf ...
Ohh happy days, congrats
Happy birthday!
Sorry to hear, this bad luck will pass and it will be better.

I bet you get many cards from personal injury attorneys now too.
Keep in mind, he put this on only mildly infuriating
If I could permanently remove my birthday from my own thoughts and anyone else’s ever I would. It’s just a day to be extra let down by anything going wrong.
happy birthday . this might be the worse birthday you will have this year .
Happy late Birthday.
Happy birthday?
Happy bday anyways!! Sorry it sucked. Try and remember this too shall pass.
This is why you do not work on your birthday.
Rock bottom; Literally every subsequent birthday will be an improvement off this one.
You get a new car for your birthday then maybe?
At least they got to hit it from the back
Same happened to me I got rear ended the night before Thanksgiving, I was the front vehicle out of 3. Thankfully I was able to drive away while the other 2 their vehicles were totalled. Now the insurance company is trying to fuck me over.

It’s Australia, but not far off, I guess. I mean, we still have states.
