Default Do you enjoy when people sing ‘happy birthday’ to you?
We were at a restaurant earlier and my other half told them not to sing to me for my birthday as I hate it (which I do haha).

But do you mind if people sing it to you in public??

I don't really like to have that much attention in public tbh.

I would appreciate the gesture though.

What about if it wasn’t in public but at home?

Yes the public attention part is utter cringe. When it's people I know and care for quite a bit, then it's actually very nice (but still cheesy).

He'll probably love it like Kate said.

Children I think likes the spotlight on average more than an adult.

I mean that in the nicest possible way.
