Ever since I was a young child, I hated that my birthday was on April Fools Day. Here are some of the reasons why...
5. People's inability to recognize cynicism.
I do not like April Fools Day and nobody believes it. They all think I'm kidding. I'm not.
4. Jokes that Aren't Funny
Everyone thinks that they are funny on April Fools Day and makes some ridiculous, uninspired pun and call themselves a comedian.
3. Fake News.
Companies think it is a good idea to get your hopes up. Not cool.
2. Disbelief that it is, in fact, my birthday.
It's probably the easiest prank to play and takes no preparation to tell someone that it is your birthday. However, this is the exact reason nobody believes me when I tell them it is actually my birthday.
1. Pranks.
From having someone trick me into thinking they were wishing me happy birthday in a foreign language (they were really saying merry Christmas) to whoopie cushions under my pillow. My friends and family have tried it all. It doesn't exactly make someone feel like it's their special day.
