The boyfriend in the first video, is absolutely A+. Not only thrilled, but willing to reenact it for her benefit.
I wanna give them both a hug because once she's done flipping out she's gonna go oh snap why does he love me, meanwhile dude was just cheesing and just happy to be there
I was actually delighted the entire time. Because I can relate to all parts of it and it was so sweet.
True he is awesome
My best advise to that dude is, never get her pregnant, if she simply can't handle her emotions better, it will be a steep ride! :/
@@annettewissinglaursen4280 what a leap, just because she's overreacting while *on her period* means that she can't handle her emotions well? She immediately recognises that her behaviour was "psycho", something a lot of people wouldn't be able to admit. That *is* handling emotions, being able to feel the feelings and let them out and then being able to say "I overreacted, sorry". Suppressing emotions just leads to bad stuff down the road
The period freakout is too real. The raging hormones during that time make me cry at the dumbest stuff, and she had an actual reason to be upset, but I'm sure her period made her reaction 100x worse. 😂
She wanted everything to be perfect lol I felt so bad! Glad he still loved and appreciated it 😂
I'm on my period currently and I'm ngl, I cried too with her. I felt it 😂😭
Period mood swings are horrible. I had a mental breakdown because I couldn't get a trolley to separate from the other trolleys before shopping. It was so embarrassing, which made me cry even more. Then my partner just came and pulled it with such ease. 🤬🙈😂
It was so adorable 😂
"I'm just one person what do you expect me to do" when he expected nothing 😂😭
My husband tried to surprise me with all of our family at a birthday dinner on my birthday a few years ago. He pretended like he and EVERYONE else forgot my birthday. I was so sad the entire day. When I saw everyone, I started crying because I thought it was a pitty party at that point. Needless to say, he learned to never do that again 😂
😂😂😂 sweet story
That’s why we don’t do sitcom stuff in real life
It’s funny and sweet on screen but in person it feels so bad
Well my 'friends' really forgot my birthday 🤷🏻♀️ and didn't even get a pitty party nor a real one 😅😂
@@leadobos6257What?!!! That's terrible! Bad friends. No potatoes for them.
I DETEST it when people do that. I won't participate. It's just mean and ruins their whole day. Why?!
Surprising her for her 60th birthday on her 59th just made it that much more of a surprise.
My ex husband ignored my 40th birthday, no birthday wishes, no card, no gift. I said nothing the whole day hoping and waiting for him to do something! That night I let him know how upset I was for him forgetting or ignoring my birthday. He got really angry, he informed me that he and his family had decided to celebrate my birthday on a more convenient day and planned a surprise party for me for the following Saturday. So, he figured with that plan in place he didn't need to actually acknowledge my actual birth DAY. He then called me ungrateful and shamed me for getting upset! The AUDACITY! One of the many reasons he's now my ex!
I do something that upset you and when you tell me about it I get mad at you because how dare you? So glad he's your ex!!
? You're being ungrateful about the thing I haven't done yet! How could you? 😒🙄
I understand the frustration and congrats on making him an ex.
Had a similar situation on the same weekend of mother's day, and I already had 2 kids with this man... His excuse, "Do I need to do anything for you on mother's day or your birthday? We're like an old couple. We can just watch TV."
That's so messed up he did that!
He forgot and was trying to cover his butt.
Agreed, everyone pretending they forgot before a surprise party in the evening sounds like the most gut wrenching thing ever. Like yeah, you didn't actually forget, but I still had to experience feeling forgotten for, what, 7-12 hours? Fuck that
And to me that's more suspicious 😂. It would be far more surprising if everyone acted normal. Said happy birthday, etc. The party will still be a surprise, you don't have to pretend to forget.
When I was 8 my mom told me, it's your birthday, what do you want for dinner? I said pork chops. Dinner came, no pork chops, no mention that it was my birthday. My siblings didn't say anything either. Nothing. I haven't really celebrated ever.
@estherkhan8007 thanks . I was bummed.
Agreed! You can still tell someone happy birthday even if you got a surprise party planed. Acknowledging it’s their birthday don’t automatically mean the surprise is ruined just don’t mention the party part!
@@lotstodoaww that is so sad. I'm sorry you had to go through that. My parents were kinda cruel too. I still got Christmas presents but never what I asked for. Like one year I asked for shoes. Well they wrapped one of my presents in a shoe box but didn't get me any shoes.
That first one is so sweet actually. Her wanting to surprise him and make him feel special and he is there supporting him and being so understanding of her haha. So sweet
Knowing how much I hate surprises my cousin planned a surprise 30th bday party for me. I was so pissed off everyone was “too busy” to join me for birthday drinks I shut off my phone, went out and got sh*tfaced all by myself. I got home late, really loaded, bitter af and when everyone jumped out I just went in my bedroom, slammed the door and passed out. The next morning I could tell by the big mess and half the guests passed out everywhere that the party went on without me. When I told my cousin he had to clean up all the mess he was genuinely surprised, (Uno Reverse Card.)
We threw a surprise party for my mom one year. The only reason it worked and she enjoyed it was because NO ONE PRETENDED TO FORGET IT WAS HER BDAY. Literally everyone either sent her messages, posted on her fb or called her wishing her a happy birthday. We also told her we were having a small get-together at my aunt's house....she just wasn't expecting 25+ people when she got there lol
That’s the way to go. Wish them happy birthday and tell them something is planned. Makes them happy rather than feeling sad no one remembered.
This is the proper way to do it, or schedule the party for the weekend before. I hate stories where people get treated like crap for a 'suprise'
I think another way it can work is - still don’t pretend to forget because that’s horrible - but tell them you have a fun thing planned at a club or like a mini golf course or something and that y’all are gonna meet up at ____ house/apartment, etc. don’t say it’ll be only like a few people but don’t give away how many people will be there!
That way, they know to get ready, and they would be prepared for an event! Bonus points if you have a surprise party planned AFTER going to what you originally said was the plan! No one has to look forward to golf or the club (or whatever) and not get to go, they just get an added party!
I had a surprise party once and this was it. People still acknowledged my birthday, in fact we were just going to nan and granddads house because they (and a ton of other family members lol) had presents for me. Absolutely wasn't suspecting anything like that at all and it was so lovely
I can accept when the surprise is having extra people at a party that were already having.
That last one was so upsetting. How could anyone think that mistreating someone on their birthday was some sort of build-up to a surprise party?! What kind of gang of sociopaths would do that to someone?!? 😰
McDonald’s did used to have some banging birthday parties back in the day tho!
Narcissists do this.
My dad was given a surprise party and my mom actually debated not telling him anything because "I don't want to ruin the surprise for the party I made for tonight."
......it's not a surprise that it's his birthday >.> At least acknowledge it.
I’ve had many, many birthdays like this.. but without the party at the end to even attempt to save it..
The last 1 was grandmas money floating into the sky tho?
Awe!! That man who was like "we can do it again!" And really went with it was awesome all to make his girl feel better. He was so understanding and validated her feelings even though he wasnt mad he recognized made it better. Love it!
The "wrong cake" was in the shape of a truck driver radio, that's actually so cute ❤ Love your videos Charlotte!
I had to scroll down so far to get to this. Thank you!
This is the comment I've been looking for 😂 For some reason, I thought I saw a panda on the cake, but a truck driver radio makes way more sense!
I know I'm late to the party but I think it's a hamm radio.
I was coming here to say just this, it’s a CB Radio. Glad someone else got it lol.
I saw Snoopy lol
Why do we live in a society where being mean is considered a prank? *sigh*. As for surprises, I like little ones, like “Hey, I got you your favorite candy bar while I was out today,” not something huge like a party where I don’t have time to prepare to be social.
Wholeheartedly agree! My mates threw a surprise party for me while we were overseas. I walked in and immediately drew my firearm, full on ready for combat! They all hit the floor, fast! 😂 They did warn my husband to NEVER surprise me, thank goodness. We laugh about it now but I was not pleased at all at the time. Took ages to get my adrenaline down, don’t recall much of the night! 😅
Yes same like Im a massive introvert, I think Id just look like a deer in headlights wishing a truck would run me over out of embarrassment
Social anxiety and surprise parties do not go well together. When will people learn SMH
Pranks are always mean if the people pranked doesn't find them funny. Pranksters usually want to laugh at people not laugh with them.
Great question. A nice birthday surprise party comes after you already thought "I had such a wonderful day!". And then it gets better!!!
Making someone miserable the whole day, and then expect them to be grateful, is messed up.
We gave my mom a surprise party on her 50th and invited all her siblings. (she had lots of them, came from a pretty big family!) She thought we were just going out to dinner, just the 4 of us in the immediate family. When she heard a bunch of people outside making noise, she looked out the window and saw everyone starting to sing HB. She cried - happy tears! We just did it again on her 90th, but she only had 1 sister left, but plenty of friends! She cried again - happy tears. Totally surprised both times!
You made her 50th and 90th birthday the happiest day of her life.
I think the key is the party was thrown in a public place. I feel like so many people hate surprise parties because they’re going home ready to relax only to be bombarded by a ton of people. You take them out to eat or a bar, etc. they already are in the headspace that they’re going out to have fun with people. The surprise ends up being there were more people than they thought! Lol I did it to my husband for his 30th and he loved it! Told him we were going out for drinks with some of my fam and he showed up to tons of friends and family! It was great!
My 5th grade students tried to surprise me in my classroom for my birthday... The day before they kept asking my what my favorite cake is and when I ask them why they answered 'secret' the day of my birthday two waited for me by the school gate and had me wear a blindfold... Almost tripped thrice and bump against a wall multiple times but I appreciate what they tried to do especially as it was my first month teaching.
Was this in Virginia, by any chance?
When my daughter was 6, I asked her if she wanted a surprise party. She said "If you surprise me, I will run out the door and never come back. I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES!" She wasn't kidding. Even gifts that came wrapped gave her anxiety and she couldn't relax until she knew what it was. I learned to give her all of her gifts in a pretty bag.
Thank you for not only listening to her but also for HEARING her! Way to go mom! 🥹👍🏾💗
I can feel a strong vibe of my fellow “INTJs”😂
The front porch "of course I'm drunk. It's a party" guy is ALWAYS ticking off his family 😂
I kind want to use "way to go, Derek " for anyone who messes things up now.
For fecking shore! 😂
I love Derek, it was definitely a skit, but literally all his videos his mom is always yelling at him 😂
@@deathsecretary2055 needs to be Dobre merch for sure! Perfect!
@@ll2323Dawson too.
My husband surprised me with my friend flying in on my birthday. I walked in, saw her there, started talking all calm to her and then it dawned on me she was in my home and I screamed in her face “OMG what are you doing here”. She jumped back and bust out laughing it took me that long!!
Omg that is so sweet
It sounds as though you think about your friend so much, she's a very real presence to you all the time. So, there she was as usual, and it took a moment for your brain to catch up with the fact that she was there, in the flesh. What a wonderful story! Your husband is a doll.
See that's a good surprise! Nothing crazy just your husband wanting the best for you on your birthday
As someone who is EXTREMELY sensitive by being dismissed/forgotten by people I care about, I probably wouldn't talk to any of those people ever again if they "forgot" and treated me like crap on my birthday, only to throw me a surprise party, which I'm not really a fan of, anyways.
Surprise parties aren't usually my thing, but I'm really proud of the one for my late dad's last birthday. He passed away this year (extremely aggressive cancer) and last year he turned 65. My brother and I wanted to reunite him with all of his cousins and siblings, who'd not been in the same room for decades. As brother's fiancee was pregnant, we told dad it was a baby shower, put it the weekend before and complained the party room wasn't available any other time. We told him it was family only but not exactly who was coming. We got video messages from out of province cousins. When he walked in, we yelled "Happy Birthday" and he immediately SCOLDED US. "No no, it's their day!" We laughed and explained it was a ruse. Then he saw the photos on the wall, his aunt, who never leaves home, sitting there... and the cousins... and had a really amazing birthday. Storytelling, laughs, a playlist of songs I made (one for every year he was alive). He deserved that joy. I joked it was like that movie Big Daddy - "we wasted the good surprise on you".
Ok that was the sweetest most adorable melt down I’ve ever seen. They’re both keepers!
She’s definitely sweet. He needs to do everything to keep her!
❤
Dont make someone feel forgotten and abandoned before surprising them. Imagine going through the whole day feeling like the people closest to you dont care about you.
It's even worse when you go the whole day thinking that's what must be going on... that everyone is ignoring you because there must be a party later... or tomorrow... or this weekend... or next week.... and there's nothing! 😕😏
I did this when I was 12 me snd my friend did it to another friend then snuck in her house at 5an to decorate. Top 5 of the shittiest things I've ever done and I still get nauseas thinking about it
And although we were sooo young my son is 11 and I've raised him to not go along with your friends because even tho I thought it was a bad idea and I felt so bad I went along with the "leader" of the group. Ugh so horrible.
It's sad too because they do it on TV all the time and it's supposed to be so wholesome 🤔
I feel like that all the time, so it wouldn't be anything new for me.
@@jacklow9611I’m so sorry that you feel that way! Please know that you are important and this internet stranger cares about you!!! ❤
you know that their friendship is real for throwing the birthday without knowing the age 😂
I would totally walk out of a surprise party too. If I didn't prepare myself to be around a ton of people, then I was probably expecting to just chill with the homies for a bit, nothing big.
Gosh this is giving me trauma flashbacks. We planned a surprise party for my grandmother's 60th birthday (she loves surprises FYI). My cousin, Barb (mother's sister's daughter, also a granddaughter) lives out west on the other side of the country, 4000 miles away. There was no way she could make it (she expects other people to pay her way, but anyway. Knowing how jealous Barb gets, I told my mother not to tell them about the party until after it happened. My mother, always wanting to see the good in everyone, tells my cousin "so she doesn't feel left out" but says its okay because Barb promised not to tell.
The day of the surprise comes. I spend hundreds of dollars on food, the cake, presents and gas getting my grandmothers elderly siblings and friends all to the venue. Everyone hides and we do the whole SURPRISE thing.
My grandmother has no reaction. Like absolutely none. Just kind of goes "oh thanks". I know something's up because she loves surprises and with all her friends and family there she would normally be delighted, happy crying and hugging everyone.
I find out later on that Barb called my grandmother the night before and told her about the surprise. I was SO angry. I knew this would happen. It's been 15 fucking years and I'm still mad at Barb for ruining what turned out to be our grandmother's last birthday.
Brat.
I would be mad too
Your mother was to blame for that one, you both knew what Barb was like, yet she decided to tell her anyway.
If she had of respected what you asked, the surprise wouldn’t have been ruined. I hope she felt really bad for that
Every family has a Barb. 😢
I suddenly have beef with Barb too
@@lauraf4202 yes, and unfortunately the Barb in my family is my mother
Honestly I wouldn't even be upset if my friends thought I was a year older than I was. It's the thought that counts, and honestly it's still really sweet. 😂
Same. That one was the only one I thought was funny. That's just one to add to a list of stories to joke about for the next few decades. The rest, you gotta know the person! Me, that would trigger like a 2 day anxiety attack, haha
I wouldn't, I'm 34 and forgot how old I was turning, lol. I thought I was turing 35 this past birthday 😅. 🎉
I would’ve laughed just as hard as they did
@@GingerThereforeNoSoul i've been forgetting how old I am since I turned 19. Every year its like trying to get used to writing down the new year date instead of the old one. I always have to think about it before I answer lmao
@@Cajun_SeasoningBruh I once answered I was 3 years younger because I forgot my age, I started doing the math as I answered and increased a year till I got the right one 😂
I don't think I've ever met anyone who hates birthday surprises as much as I do until I saw this video. I felt seen. I felt heard. Thank you
On what my mom thought was her 53rd birthday she was so excited to find out that she was turning 52 and not in fact 53 like she thought she was. For an entire year she thus he was a year older than she actually was. Then she was sad because she realized she missed her entire year of being 51 by thinking she was 52. Funniest shit ever. She just turned 71 in September. We still give her crap about forgetting her age. I put the number candles on her cake, and I put 70 to see if she would think she missed an entire year of her life again. 😂
I once heard a story about a surprise b-day party done (presumably) right. As I was told, the young man in question wasn't used to get huge gifts or a lot of attention, so everyone congratulated him in the morning, he got a nice sweater and thought that was it. But in the evening he was unexpectedly taken to a restaurant where his family threw him a proper party. It's not obligatory to be a jerk to your loved one so that you could feel good about yourself for pranking them later.
I was so sad the entire weekend of my 30th birthday because my friends didn't want to do anything with me. My surprise party was that Monday, and was ruined by seeing my sister showing up late as usual, outside of a venue that she would never go to. I had gone there to mope and spent the entire evening salty that I lost my birthday weekend because everyone had lied to me. My party was 2 hours at an expensive bar with no food and a guest list I didn't choose. Overall I appreciated the thought and can say I enjoyed myself, but never again. I'll plan my own birthdays so I can do what I want.
I’m someone that actually enjoys planning things, to me it’s part of the fun, like getting to enjoy a bit of the excitement of your special event before it actually happens. So if everyone was telling me they couldn’t do anything with me all weekend, only to have them spring on me last minute something that they had planned, not me, I would be pissed. (Not to mention that all my friends are nowhere near as good at planning stuff as I am 😆)
I had an similar experience at my 30th birthday. Everyone I invited for a little party „cancelled“ that day and I was sad about that. I spend half my birthday with being sad and a bit disappointed. The party was great, but the feeling before wasn’t at all
Cq
My 40th... only had a few "friends" I could invite so plan and bought everything... set up... and no one showed up (for various reasons) but, after many attempts to try and do anything when it's already a busy time for everyone (its around xmas) it put me off ever wanting to celebrate my birthday or organise anything again.
My 30th was shit as well because no one wanted to do anything with me.
I’ve decided I’m spending my 32nd where I want and will possibly invite people.
I've never understood the thing about being mean or ignoring a birthday just to make the surprise 'better.' I've never had a surprise party before, but I have had my parents totally ignore it was my birthday and be extra nasty to me just because they were pissed I didn't finish the dishes or something. I was like 12 years old! I honestly don't remember if anyone even said happy bday or even acknowledged it was my bday at all because the hurt and guilt that I'd done something so horrible they'd do that to me totally squashed anything good that might've happened that day. Since then I've never enjoyed my birthday. Unless my son does something for me, then it's always happy! 🥰
11:37 It wasn't the birthday girl cleaning up the mess. It was the friend that threw the party.
The fail birthday will be one of his most cherished memories. I'm crying right now just thinking about how much she obviously cares and wanted that to go well. As a man, that was incredibly reassuring.
The cake was some sort of communications radio. Also, she should have invited the man over to blow the candles out on her cake lol.
Yeah, I thought the cake might have been a morse code machine or something similarly used for communication during world war eras.
Totally agree! I half expected him to come over.
I wouldn't have blown out the candles in the first place but yeah I would have told him to come blow out my candles if I did blow his out 😭
It was weird that she blew them out. She knew it was the wrong cake and should have tried harder to get it to the correct table.
@@4usweetsmiles right like she even looked over at them I probably would have stood up and brought the cake over myself!!
If you do throw a surprise party, do it BEFORE their birthday. Threw a surprise party for a young lady in our youth group one time AFTER her birthday. We did not pretend to forget at all, but usually, we would make some kind of plans with her (movies, restaurant, etc...). We didn't make any other plans than the surprise party so she just thought no one cared about her enough to do something with her. It was aweful. I felt terrible. Never again. If the person likes surprises (some of us do), then do the party EARLY.
15:30 If I was a part of that group of people, I would have broken the "rules" and had said happy birthday to her, no questions asked. I would never have been rude to her, much less for a surprise.
I've only ever once thrown a surprise party and it went really well. It was a friend's 16th, she had a bit of a rough home life, so my parents threw her a surprise party.
At school in the week leading up to it, it was spilt so many times by people asking about party details and me giving the "shutupshutupshutup" look. My friend was often not paying attention to things going on around her, so she actually never picked it up.
She thought she was just coming over for a sleepover and was pretty excited when everyone jumped out and yelled "surprise". She metioned it every now and then over the years. It's a nice memory becuase we had a falling out when we were 30 and she has passed on, now.
I once surprised my sister from another mister twice on her birthday. Found out she'd be at home, so I send her a card and flowers and she didn't suspect a thing, so that was surprise #1. She loved it.
Then, work was slow and my colleagues allowed me to leave early, so I drove an hour and a half to her house and showed up on her doorstep unannounced. She was crying in my arms with how much she loved me being there.
Your friend will always remember that. I put myself in a box and got delivered to my friend.
It was perfect and we will never forget that memory.
@@moniqueengleman873 Hold on I need context how you do that.
@@elijah1494responding to get the update i need answers
@@elijah1494Probably drove over there and hopped inside a pre-packaged box. Not actually MAIL delivered 😂
@@ravenartistofficial That makes more sense than actually mail delivered but less fun.
That first one has me crying and laughing at the same time, and I’m not even on my period 😂
The boyfriend handled it like a champ though, what a chaotic yet sweet moment 😆
You know what's worse than people ignoring your birthday for a surprise party? People ignoring your birthday and NOT getting a surprise party, because they all forgot 😢
As a CIS male, I don't have periods..
I still completely relate to crying when you try so hard for a surprise and it bombs. Totally me and no hormones
Yeah but the hormones make you feel crazy, not just bummed out.
The way I went "what does CIS stand for" 😂
I surprised my mom with a party when she got to come home after almost 2 decades of being in another country (she couldn’t go home until then). We didn’t know how to pull off the surprise without mentioning that there’s a party because I booked an appointment with a salon to do her hair and makeup and I also bought her a nice dress. The party was scheduled around lunch time and her plane touched down at 6am. So after breakfast I just told her that there were some people excited to see her again, so we have to go to the salon to get her hair and makeup done and asked her to put on the dress I bought which she loved. So it wasn’t a totally secret party. The surprise elements were the hair and makeup, the dress, the people who were gonna be at the party (I enlisted the help of a representative of each group of her friends/relatives because I didn’t know most of them) and got to gather around a hundred people to attend the party. So she didn’t expect the party to be huge (I had to rent a venue, hire a caterer, and styled the venue to make it festive). When she saw the whole setup with everyone welcoming her she screamed with delight like a little girl. I asked my uncle to hand her a large bouquet of flowers (my dad was unfortunately already in heaven at this point) and at some point in the party I showed a surprise video of people (who couldn’t make it to the party) giving her a heartfelt message.
The whole thing was a lot of work to set up and it wasn’t super perfect, but she was very happy with all the surprises and that’s what matters. ✌🏻
@@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x thank you 🥰
That was the perfect surprise party and gift to someone you love❤ I did something like that with my sisters bridal party. She hate surprises to.
Awww you are a great child ❤God bless you
I also had a surprise wedding. My husband & I invited guests without letting them know what actually was happening. No one had to get dressed up except me. Best wedding idea. No drama just fun
Great idea! Congratulations
my mom did something like this with my stepdad! they were engaged for several years and never had a plan for an actual wedding. so for my moms 40th bday, he tried surprising her with a party but of course someone ruined it. But instead of it just being ruined, she planned a wedding in 3 days and when she was “surprised” with the party, she surprised my stepdad that they were getting married that day.
I was a bit scared at the beginning of your comment cause of this reddit story I heard of a girl getting surprised by her OWN wedding (she was not even engaged yet), but that is actually really sweet!!
@@mayas883Yes! Exactly my thought
The best surprise party EVER was on my 16th birthday. My best friend and I both have birthdays in June. Her mom called me and we set up a surprise party for her. It was so exciting! Imagine getting over to her house and having people saying SURPRISE! and we were both totally confused cause she thought it was surprise party for me, I thought it was a surprise party for her, but our moms and friends set it up to be a surprise for both of us. AND I got the albums Led Zeppelin II, Steppenwolf Monster, and Grand Funk Closer to Home. Yeah I’m old , but damn we had great music.
I threw a surprise party at a pub for my now husband birthday once. Had this whole day planned out, took him to an arcade, had lunch, went to a museum and then was to go to the pub after that. My mate accidentally messaged the wrong group chat about the surprise birthday so i had to spend 4 hours trying to get the man to not look at his phone. It was so stressful.
Turned out he actually found out weeks before and went along with it to make me happy.
Never doing that shit again
I feel, if you want to do a surprise birthday party, you should arrange things with friends and family to greet the birthday person (while acknowledging their birthday) and do nice things during the day, like inviting them to a café and buying them coffee (and if they're working give them something during their break). Then when they go home they'll be in a happier mood (unless work made it bad). But only if they are the type of person to like surprise birthdays.
I love those gals in Liverpool who wanted to surprise their friend on her 60th birthday. I love their energy. Reminds me of my closest friends, we tend to make such mistakes, but the important thing is to have a good laugh and enjoy the time spent together.
Dude I absolutely hate surprises, and surprise parties.
Despite the fact I have told people I hate surprises and especially surprise parties, I still got thrown one.
It just felt incredibly awful. The surprise party was thrown a day before my birthday- completely ignoring the fact that I had already planned on what I wanted to do on my actual birthday. Instead of having that relaxed, laid back birthday I’d wanted to have- I had to entertain all my friends and family… and then they spent the night when I was wholly unprepared for them to do so.
When my actual birthday came around I was completely alone. It was the absolute worst and I spent the entire day feeling so alone and like nobody understood and actually loved me.
It’s up there for worst birthday I’ve ever had. Whenever I asked them to never do that to me ever again and that I was really hurt by it, they turned it around and made me feel like I was selfish. They said, “but you enjoyed it?! You were smiling?”
I just hated it and I hate how I was made to feel bad for daring to dislike something I never even wanted or asked for. Even all these years later I’ve never gotten even one apology for it from anyone involved.
I had a surprise part last year for my 30th. I had spent the afternoon working my charity's booth at a convention and was EXHAUSTED when I got home, so when my dad said "don't take your shoes off we are going out to dinner" I was soooo cranky. He said that my aunt was buying pizza for us and I was just like "ok cool, have it delivered" but everyone including my husband was like "no, no, let's just go out" blah blah blah I finally caved and I am incredibly thankful that I did. My cousin that I hadn't seen in two years was there and so was her kid that I hadn't had the chance to meet yet. I literally cried because I had been wanting to see them so badly but covid made it hard. Normally I'm not a big fan of surprises, they make me very anxious because I'm constantly anticipating what is going on, but this is a surprise that I will treasure forever!
When my grandmother turned 90, my mom plotted a surprise party. Her plan was to try and essentially prank my grandmother(her mother) and attempt some kind of surprise scare thing when entering the party. My dad and I both pointed out she was turning 90 and her plan might kill her mother. Thankfully she toned it down to just a simple surprise party in that she was expecting just a few people; but there were a lot.
The birthday confusion was very funny! My older brother genuinely thought he was turning 39 when he was actually turning 40. I reminder my parents about his big bday. They called him and he politely informed them that they were a year early. Confused, they laughed it off and then called me. I was confused. I confirmed his birth year with my parents and confirm again what I knew to be true. It took some convincing and a birth certificate to prove that I was right. 😂 we still don’t know what year he had skipped or year he lived twice. But I think he’s good now 😂😂😂
I had the same scenario with my younger sister. She was turning 21 but thought she was only turning 20. In her case though, she had a baby just a week before her 19th birthday so we assumed that was the cause of her missing time. She would've been more focused on his 1st birthday then her 20th.
The “I need to get my gun” comment with the bald eagle flying across the screen had me rolling. Thank you Charlotte.
I planned a surprise party for my older sister when I was SIXTEEN and oh Lord, it was so stressful. I had younger siblings who might've slipped up at any minute, there were so many friends involved that could've messed it up, I had people coming in from different STATES I was trying to keep a surprise... it was so stressful, but her happiness was so worth it honestly.
You are a fantastic stister !
I wish anyone in my surroundings would put in as much effort in a surprise party as you did.
You are awesome !
My husband tried to surprise me with an affair but I was smarter and served him the divorce papers 😂
omg girl! lmfao. your sense of humor is so on point, im sorry for laughing so hard at this 💖 wishing you the best, good job taking out the trash!
I can't laugh at this 😢coz ik the feeling too well
Is he married to her now?? 😅😅
Girl, good riddance. You are TOO GOOD for him.
You don't understand! He was doing you a favor! Think of all the mental load taken off your shoulders by you having someone to split it with!
(Of course I'm joking. Guy sounds like an asshole. You deserve better)
Even as a kid I got so upset and anxious watching shows with people "forgetting" birthdays and then trying to make it all better with a surprise party. It's needlessly cruel
It is fr. I never liked celebrating my birthday because my mom always invited a bunch of strangers over and it just made me really anxious. When it’s a small get together with maybe one or two friends, just people who make you feel happy and safe, then it’s a party. Otherwise, it’s a front.
Totally.. I hate surprises and parties, bday parties, because I've never been celebrated as a kid, just my sisters,and I started hating my bdays.. so now I don't celebrate them, but I do make big parties for my kids and husband...
The dude in the first vid is a class A dude... for real. My hubs reacts this way when I...well...have my "moments" when on the monthly, too. It's good guys like this who support their girl, laugh through these kinds of moments, and just love the hell outta us when we have these days. Keep this man, babe. He's a good one!
Honestly . . the period one was so wholesome. No one got demonized, just sometimes crap happens and they still love eachother and just 'oof'. Love how they came together at the end.
I had to lie to a dear friend so we could surprise her on her 40th birthday. The stories were easy, but keeping the surprise a secret was not. When I finally brought her into the room, I'm the one that burst into tears, from the relief of not having to keep the secret anymore!
The best party I had was when I asked my future husband and close friends to give me a surprise party . We had a spit roast, marquee and lots of drinks. I got to just show up and act surprised , everything was done and we ALL had a fantastic time. No stress or anxiety 😂
I love a spit roast with my husband and closest friends 😛
1:47 the moodswings are going wiild 🤣
When I first started dating my bf, I clearly stated that I hate surprises. I dislike them because, during my childhood, most surprises that happened were typically bad things happening, so I hate all surprises now and the initial reaction I always have is reflexively either agitated or indifferent.
His thought process was "Because her hate for them came from bad things, I just need to make sure my surprises for her are good things!"
No, hun, that's not how it works - I already spelled it out for you.
A for effort, ig. No more surprises for me. I do surprises for him tho, since he loves them. And I compromise by letting him do little surprises cuz he loves it so much.
I’m not really a surprise party person but I did throw one for my now husband and with all his friends and family. His reaction was so wholesome. He hadn’t had a party in like over 15 years and I wasn’t aware of that. It was pretty amazing.🤩
honestly for surprise parties, the worst thing you can do is avoid the person - no one should 'forget' someones birthday because that is so suspicious
The best way to surprise someone for a surprise birthday, is to acknowledge: the birthday, take them for coffee or brunch or something, give them a small present, and let them think that this was their whole day. Then surprise them with a full on party - IF THEY LIKE PARTIES! I don't like parties so it wouldn't be fun for me, but y'know.
I've always thought the best way to handle a surprise Bday party is to do it the night before. However, the best surprise I've been a part of was for a coworker to celebrate her passing her citizenship test. It was awesome, and very well received. (Also, it was at work during lunch, no 'unexpected' people, and she did not have to worry about any clean up.)
I remember when my family threw a surprise party for my grandma. She was so terrified when we all jumped up and yelled surprise that she just sat down and cried. We felt awful.
Yeah, sometimes the best surprise is a more subtle one. Especially for people with social anxiety(whether they know they have it or not).
I completely despise public surprises. This would include my own house full of people I know. Creates too much anxiety.
Some ppl really don’t like them, many men especially. Always ask first and honor their preferences.
@@cloud9beauty my ex was a public display man... he felt it showed everyone what a nice guy he was, how well he was doing in life. Our 3rd anniversary included a limo (so not my style, but okay for one night), expensive restaurant (again.. not my thing), and a diamond ring in a cake.... at the restaurant. (So embarassing and anxiety causing.) A nice homemade dinner (I didnt have to make or clean up), at home, movie night, put the ring in a bowl of M&M's.... that would have been fantastic!
3:21 I genuinely thought they forgot to invite the birthday girl 😂
My friends made a surprise birthday party for me. Once. I was like this guy who left. I told them couple of times that I don't want a surprise birthday party. They thought I'd be happy anyway. It was two weeks after my birthday so I thought we just going for drinks. I had a pretty bad period in my life with work, relationship and just want to vent to my friends. And when I saw all of my friends I told I don't want to surprise birthday party, My boyfriend who I was planning to broke up. And who I told multiple times to tell me if my friends planning this. I just felt betrayed...
I had a surprise party for my husband and it was amazing. His best friend took him out. Nobody ignored that it was his birthday or was rude to him on his birthday. When he showed up to the restaurant full of people waiting for him he was really happy and excited. Birthdays should be celebrated and let people know that they're loved
Every year mum tries to make it a 'surprise' that she's bought a cake for whoever's birthday it is. At this point it's more of a surprise if she forgets. We just accept it even though we know it's going to happen. She's not exactly sly about it, either. You can hear her gathering the rest of the family into the kitchen, then she sends one person in because "Mum wants you in the kitchen for something" and yeah, cue Happy Birthday song. XD
This is the sweetest and more “mom” like thing I’ve read recently.
I've only ever had one surprise birthday party. It was when I was 9. Got off the school bus and I decided to walk in the front door instead of the back door like I usually would. Saw everyone's backs facing the other door lol they all had to turn around and yell surprise..pretty funny.🎉
My mom threw me a surprise birthday party in high school. I had wondered why no one wanted to go to the football game with me! 😂 It was great though and i was so surprised, i literally had no idea. It was a lot of fun and my friends still talked about it years later. She did a great job.
My husband surprised me with our wedding!!! Even had my sister help, and to be honest, I don’t have the greatest family, and after Covid and many MANY insane things postponing it, he didn’t want me worrying or stressing over anything, my sister made our cake, my bouquet (which was honestly the most beautiful I have ever seen) I already had a dress for 3 years (thankfully it fit perfectly still) and I was told at 10am that the preacher would be there at noon. And it was perfect. It wasn’t about what my family wanted. It wasn’t about which family member hated who said they wouldn’t show up. If they were there in the other person wouldn’t show up if that person was there. it was about him and me and the love we have shared for the last four years all the ups and downs that we have weathered together celebrating everything we have gotten through with each other, because of each other. I have video evidence to prove it too, and the shock and joy are DEFINITELY obvious 😂, but I wouldn’t change it for the most expensive wedding in the world, it was us! ❤
This past January was my mom’s 70th birthday. My dad, sister, my mom’s best friend, and I spent about 6 months stressed out of our minds as we planned a surprise party for her. I am glad to report that everything went off without a hitch and she was happily surprised, but I’ll never organize a surprise party again lol
😂😂😂😂😂 I had to rewatch that first one. Brilliant!! This would deffo be me too, I felt her pain and embarrassment. Hilarious! Bless them both, he took it like a champ, really understanding and caring. My “man” would just give me crap if I got upset my surprise didn’t work out. So good for you two, I hope you guys last a lifetime awww
We threw my dad a suprise birthday party for his 60th. We had his friend whose store he helps out at sometimes ask him to come in and work for awhile and close the store. Everyone yelled suprise when he opened the door he walked right back out and around the corner. I went out to get him and he he had tears in his eyes. He felt so loved, but didn't love the suprise 😂. No more suprise parties for him lol.
For my parents' 30th wedding anniversary, my siblings and I planned to take them out to dinner. I was in charge of arranging the logistics and getting everyone to the restaurant. When we arrived, our parents were pleasantly surprised to find that all of our family and friends had gathered there to celebrate with us. It turned out to be an unforgettable evening.
The best way to initiate a surprise party would honestly be to wake your friend up with a birthday text, take them out and keep them busy with fun things like breakfast, or a walk or shopping or something. Have an amazing day with them while the others prepare. Tell them your next plans are coming, but it's a surprise. At this point, and this point only when the friend has agreed to take part in the surprise is it okay to walk them into something like this.
That's what I did for my mom's 50th! I took her shopping while I had everyone go and set up the party. We pulled on to her road and everyone was standing on the side of the road with a big sign. She had no idea :)
This is how we did it! We planned a party for my mom the next weekend, and dad said he wanted to take her out somewhere fancy on the day.
She was so clueless, she walked right past our table! She loved it!
The text will do for me, dont want the rest of that stuff 😂😂
Best way to do it!!!
Yes, I would be okay with that kind of surprise party
Omg the girl doing the birthday surprise for her bf was the sweetest thing that was so precious 😢 I would have been so touched with much less. She has so much love in her heart, so damn precious ❤
So a few years ago we planned a surprise party for my grandma. So, my oldest cousins took her to breakfast downtown. Everyone else preparing the house. She slipped on the sidewalk and broke her arm. We ended up waiting until maybe 5pm to have lunch with her. The party was nice but it was all so weird. My grandma just wanted to have a nap hahahaha.
As someone who is introverted, ridiculously easy to startle and has a borderline obsessive need for planning ahead.. a surprise party is probably my worst nightmare😅 especially if poppers are involved.. I'd probably rear back so hard I fell and smashed my head
I always hated surprise parties, but i was able to help plan one for a friend that was super perfect. Everyone acted normally on her birthday, calling, texting, etc. We went out to lunch together. Then about 2 weeks later it was one of our other friend's birthday (she was the one who had the idea for the party). Friend 2 invited friend 1 over for a "quiet birthday dinner" and ended up being a large surprise party for friend 1! She loved it. We celebrated friend 2 also.
I once threw a surprise baby shower for my sister. We held it on my brother's birthday, about 7 weeks before her due date, in the party room at the restaurant where he was manager. We told my sister that it was a surprise party for my brother, and that his wife had made arrangements with the regional management to pretend to hold a managers meeting in that party room. That kind of thing happened often enough that it was plausible. She walked in all dressed up with a gift for my brother. She loved it, once she realized it was really for her.
I absolutely love being surprised. Not surprise parties but I do love when my husband decides to take me somewhere without telling me where. I find that exciting and cute lol
This is my Charlotte Dobre day . Two years to this day , i discovered Charlotte's channel and it has been a laugh riot ever since almost every single day . Thanks Charlotte and fellow potatoes for all the laughs and life lessons . 🙂
Aww happy CD day to you haha~ Glad to be your fellow potato
@@qianchen6157 ha ha thank you . Glad to be your fellow potato too . 🙂
Yess girl , it’s the same for me. A daily dosis of laugh
Yesss!!!
thank you for being here!
Watching the period freakout always makes me so damn happy I’m post-menopause. Although THAT was an absolute nightmare - I got to go through it twice - once at 26 when I had to have a radicle hys due to cancer and AGAIN when I was 52 because even though I haven’t had ovaries, the pituitary still is involved, so….yeah. Twice.
Shocked I didn’t go scorched earth the second time, but…yeah. Sooo glad I’m finally done with all that crap.
Hang in there ladies - it DOES get better eventually. ❤
Sad it was a tough journey for you but I agree, menopause meant an end to all that hormonal blues for me!
Came here to say the same. Had a total hysterectomy at 39. The first year or so after was insane but it's fantastic now.
My mom planned a huge surprise party for my dad’s 50th birthday party. Unfortunately he showed up before everyone got there, so he found out it was happening. We couldn’t figure out why until my mom looked back at her messages and realized she told our relatives to come at 12 or 1 pm, but she told my dad to show up at 11 am so he showed up an hour earlier than expected. It was great, though. We still had fun, my dad got wasted, and I got him a CD with the top 20 hits in his birth year.
The cake is a radio used in trucks. The guy was probably a truck driver. 5:45
Ok 13:50 made me remember a time when my family threw a surprise party for someone and a neighbor called the cops because there was “suspicious activity “ we were all parking around the block.
The cops showed up and knew what was happening and the person who the party was for was right around the corner. So one cop(there were 2 ) ran to the patrol car to move it and the other stayed inside to yell surprise 😂😂😂
He stayed just to make sure we all moved our cars😂
5:00 wait wait WAIT, the cake said "Happy 60th Birthday"?! AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT SHE MIGHT BE THE WRONG PERSON?!
We had a surprise 50th wedding anniversary for my grandparents, everyone either called, or sent a card. My aunt and uncle said they were taking them out for dinner, but it was a big party, they didn't like the shock, but loved seeing everyone, and i still remember Nanna telling people off for ringing that morning, and not telling her, and we got in trouble for being in town for 4 days, and managing to keep hidden. Nanna cried because of how many people showed up, she loved the night, we were just never aloud to do it ever again.
Several months before my sister’s 40th birthday (December) my siblings (9 of us) and I decided it would be fun to have a party for my parents 43rd anniversary (September). Since she lived in the same city as them, she did the lion’s share of the planning. She arrived at the park for the party to see a sign that said Happy 40th. She started to get frustrated with the rest of us until she realized she had planned and organized her own (early) surprise 40th birthday party 😂😂😂
The video with the guy who just stood outside the door: The way she grabbed that man and HULK-YOINKED him into the room! 😭💀
So I have had one surprise party and Charlottes opinion really helped me feel better about how I handled it over 20 years ago. I was such a little butt all day because I thought we weren’t celebrating my birthday and I was awful right up until the moment we walked in and my friends yelled SURPRISE!! I’ve felt guilty ever since 😂
I am 59, I related so much.
I would have been in hysterics if that happened to me, I would have found it so funny. I would be retelling that story for years. That is just so awesome! :P
1:41 awwww the way he catches her ❤🔥🎉
11:50 "Hey! I'm here for y'alls monthly insect sprayin'"!
"Git cho azz in hrr!"
Bless her heart in the first video!!! I'm known for being pretty emotional, though anger is one I've worked for years on controlling so really I'm usually laughing or crying lol. Anyway, point being, I can relate. On Easter morning of 2015, I was PMSing HARD and craving a regular honey bun. We went to like 6 gas stations looking for one before we finally found an open gas station that had them in stock. I was bawling by the time we found one, feeling like the universe was intentionally doing me wrong. My husband and I now refer to it as "The Great Honey Bun Debacle of 2015." Also, pretty sure my hubby wrote that first comment on the man bun/skinny jeans clip. 🤣🤣🤣
I had a surprise party for my 18th birthday. I was singing in a band back then and they told me I had a concert booked that was supposed to be listened to by a manager of one of my favourite bands to maybe pick us up. I don’t think I’ve ever been more dissapointed in my life… 😂😂😂
That flower candle that opens is banned in Australia because if it’s left to burn the majority of it ends up on fire, including the plastic stand, which then causes a risk of the battery exploding (it plays Happy Birthday To You).
That flower candle was awesome! The way it’s petals slowly went down after it was lit! ❤
I think they have/had ones with sparklers in them or the flower candle in her cake was one and she blew it out before it could “sparkle” it’s more of a fire hazard really (the ones with the sparklers in them) the regular ones are pretty!
@@Wolf_Ma_Staaaaaaaa worth the hazard? 😂
