Do you know what really gets my cliched goat? When people make a big deal of a 40th birthday. Actually, that's not so bad, but what really bothers me is when people make a big deal of one being over the hill or inches from death's door. What is funny about a coffin "gift" box filled with "YOU'RE TURNING 40! (and therefore you must be dying)" crap? This is especially strange now that 50 is the new 40.
Like I said, I don't mind celebrating the big (or little) 4-0, but it should be just like the big 2-1 (only probably less drinking) or any other age.
Anniversaries of birth should be days to remind the Birthday Boy/Girl that you love them, not to remind them they're one year closer to grave, even if it is supposed to be funny.
