I try to tell people I don't have a birthday anymore. Because if I tell people not to get me anything, sometimes they hear please get me something. Ugh.

I normally just tell them "it was a few weeks back". This gives a full year for them to forget about it and has a sufficiently vague period of time that they can't nail you next year should they remember.

Never thought of that. I'd imagine the ensuing conversation is even more problematic though? "What do you mean you don't have a birthday? That makes no sense!"

No, just respond with "I stopped caring".

Maybe could also tack on that you count winters to tell your age.

I mean it usually goes "No really? When's your birthday" "I don't have one, thanks" and usually dies off from there.

I mean, if I have to put it on a form, that's one thing, but like office people don't need to know when it is.
