12. Wishing “Happy Birthday” on Facebook

I know I’m going to get a lot of heat for this, but in all the years people have said the phrase, “It’s the least I could do,” this truly is—outside of doing nothing at all—”the least you can do.” Nothing says, “I barely care,” then to type “Happy Birthday” on someone’s profile page.
If you do truly want to wish someone a happy birthday, do something else, anything else than just typing “Happy Birthday.”
It’s great that Facebook reminds us when people have birthdays. Use that as a chance to reconnect with the person with a positive message. 
I finally feel vindicated in my “Never wish Anyone a happy birthday on facebook” rule!
