• I asked because it sounded like a very common thing to do. Where I live the person celebrating is supposed to bring cake, snacks or something. He/she has plenty of time off, just not typical taken during one own birthday

            I’d say it looks kinda sad even if it was not eir day off, it shouldn’t necessarily look like that but this picture does

      • Yes certainly.

        We prefer taking days off around weekends or an entire week for holidays (valid for the part of Europe I been). But talking your birthday off is not particularly common practice although nothing is stopping you if you want to.

          I know people who just take an extra day off on the weekend closest to their birthday. People do different stuff.
