My family knows that if they tell the server it's my birthday I will up and leave before any idiocy occurs. I've only allowed it to be known it was my birthday once--when we sat at a table that had a "Happy Birthday" sign on it and balloons left from the last patrons. When the server went to take it all out of the way (this was a pretty fancy restaurant, so we were kind of surprised that it had been left behind) I said it was okay because it was my birthday too. Since it was such a fancy place all they did was give me free dessert, so that was nice. No hoopla, no embarassing antics, nothing of the sort.
I'm not uptight nor easily embarassed. I just don't want any part of that kind of stupidity.
