Be glad it's just Happy Birthday. In Poland there is this weird tradition, where they'll sing for You 4 songs, just to irritate You. Nobody likes it, especially the birthday person but it still happens.

Ah, the tired looks at third one...

Ah, the hateful looks toward that one hyperactive person that began the fourth xD

Fast clapping and loud high pitched toddler-like giggles and squeals always gets a fun reaction.

Sigh loudly, roll eyes, scowl judgementally,

...just like Mom.

My manager suggested that the team would sing for me last year in a group meeting. I asked why and she said they should sing because it's my birthday. I had to look on the calendar because she sounded so convinced but it was several weeks until my birthday. Since that she has never suggested happy birthday singing again and I really hope it remains like that.

Smile, stare at the cake, and lightly bob your head to the song. If you don't feel awkward with eye contact, then you can glance around the room and look at everyone.

Krump furiously.

I get friends that also hate that song.

Wave your hands towards your face with closed eyes and your head high.

I put my arms out like I am receiving their energy and look them in the eyes with a crazed smile.

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

/s

I think I usually just clap with them

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Clap and make unwavering eye contact.
