Leona Martinez

Have you ever celebrated a birthday, and it didn't turn out as you planned? Everything can happen, and failures are something unavoidable in life. We all want to be treated as someone special and for everything to be perfect on our birthday.

We have collected 33 pictures that capture the moments when people's birthdays went terribly wrong. One bought a PS5 for their son’s birthday; however, they received a rock instead. Another celebrated their special day at the hospital. The list goes on and on. Scroll down to take a look.
