Smile and look around at all the people who want to celebrate you, and muse on how fortunate you are to have them in your life.
What are you, some kind of normie?
Smile creepily and make direct and awkward eye contact?
Yes, but with one person in particular.
Yeah, or you can even just smile and fake it.
For anyone out there who has problems with things like this, remember, you can always just observe what other people do in the same situation, and then do the same thing when it happens to you. This is basically what other people intuitively do, but not everyone has the same sort of intuition.
This but creepier
Mis-reply. Ignore this.
Masturbate furiously. The goal is to finish when the song ends.
Like your style
The cake needed a little more icing anyway.
This is why I’m banned from Applebees.
You and I have very different ideas of what an Applebee’s are for.
I could never last that long.
I know… All those relatives right in front of you!
You haven’t met my relatives…
Penis helicopter at finish
Makes me think of that hippo pooping except with cum.
Well that’s just the icing on the cake
Join in the singing but replace the word “you” with the word “me”.
This is the actual correct answer, no?
No idea, but once I was feeling extra awkward and started singing along with the rest of them.
Smile and wave boys, smile and wave
Move your hands like you are conducting the symphony.
This is the best answer.
It stops you feeling awkward. It’s gets a chuckle from everyone involved, and it makes you feel a lot more confident (fake it till you make it type effect).
Extra qudos if you finish by pointing your mock baton at the friend you know is going to go “hip hip”.
Slap on a grateful expression, stare into the candles, and conjure up a wish worthy of the magic they’re casting with this ancient chant.
scream in pain and agony until its quiet, then say “thank you everyone, let’s enjoy the cake”
Immediately blow the candles out and get them to stop singing so it’s no longer awkward for everyone involved.
That is so much more awkward. I love it.
I did it a few years back, just in the spur of the moment wondering if it would stop the song; it did and they’ve stopped singing to me since then, so I consider it a double win.
absolute power move, that’s awesome
Bathe in the adulation, absorb their hymn of worship like the shining golden god you are. To thine own self be true! Happy Birthday = Hail Satan
When I was little, I always did a weird cringey little dance. As an adult I started doing it again. It makes an awkward situation (for me), fun.
That clip synced surprisingly well with the song my phone was playing (“The Bar Song” by Delta Ash).
edit: Autocorrect strikes again. Changed “point” to “phone.”
Twerk
Grin and bear it
Hand out cigars
