Happy birthday! In my experience, no one ever remembers birthdays. My parents remember mine, and sometimes my brother does, but even friends who have known me for 20 years can't remember without digital assistance. And to be fair, I have a hard time remembering their birthdays, too. At some point you know enough people that it's just impossible to track so many different dates.

Well, that's true. But what used to bother me was that people I considered myself to be fairly close to didn't try to remember that day. I didn't expect everyone to do so, not even then.
And I'm a bit unusual in that I have a fairly easy time remembering strings of numbers, if they're not too long, and a date is nothing but a string of numbers. You're quite right that that's not true of most people.
