My prior Employer in USA was so caring to arrange for a Birthday cake for all Employees for the day, for each department. During that time I was super Zealous JW. I notified my manager that I don’t celebrate birthdays and wont even eat the leftover cakes. He said flatly at my face. "Are you bull sh....ng" ?
Now I realize his words were so true. I might have looked like a nutty, brainwashed idiot to all of them, at that time.
