People who get upset that some people treat their birthdays like a normal day are definitely lacking in maturity.

The original meme makes no mention of somebody being dramatic. It only references somebody treating their birthday like any other day.

It also tracks that people who make a big deal out of their birthday are far more likely to be dramatic about it than somebody who isn't making a big deal out of their birthday.

We're just trying to get through our day. Ideally with the minimum amount of embarrassment, awkwardness, or difficulty. Being dramatic about it is not going to help and so I'm not going to do that.
