Can you share a particularly memorable BuzzFeed birthday horror story?
There was a story where a child's birthday party was at a petting zoo. But some of the animals got loose during the party. There were goats running around knocking over tables, and a pony stepped on the birthday cake. The kids were scared and excited at the same time, but it was chaos and definitely not the calm, fun party the parents had planned.
One really memorable one is about a woman who had her birthday dinner at a fancy restaurant. She had made a reservation weeks before. But when they arrived, the restaurant had lost their reservation. They were made to wait for hours and finally got a table in a corner near the kitchen, where it was noisy and smelled like grease. It was not the nice, elegant dinner she had hoped for at all. This story shows how things can go wrong even when you plan carefully. There are so many elements involved in having a great birthday experience like a good venue, proper arrangements, and when one of those things fails, it can turn into a horror story.
