You’re A Bad Friend

It doesn’t surprise me that most people wouldn’t remember their friends birthdays unless Facebook reminded them. I’m guilty of this almost everyday! TODAY I signed on and my first response was “Oh crap, it’s my sisters birthday!” (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!) So I can understand that. Apparently less than half of us actually remember our best friends birthday.

There is a new survey out that finds out what percentage of people remember key moments in their lives, the shocking part for me is WHAT some of these people remember! For example, 15% of people remember the DATE of the first movie they saw in a theater. Who remembers that?! That’s not even the most bizarre, do you know how many people remember the DATE of the first vacation they took abroad? 25%. Please tell me I’m not the only one that thinks this is weird. If I am then I know why my girlfriend writes me little sticky notes about everything…See more stats after the jump, how much of it can YOU remember?

 

1.)  63% of people remember their wedding anniversary . . . that’s less than two in three.
2.)  Less than HALF . . . 47% . . . remember the date of their best friend’s birthday.
3.)  Only 45% remember their parents’ wedding anniversary.
4.)  45% know the date they took their first vacation abroad.
5.)  Only 42% of people know the date they first went out with their partner.  But more than half of people under age 30 remembered it.
6.)  Just over one in four people remember the date of their child’s first day of school.
7.)  One in four people remember the date they started their first job.
8.)  Only one in five remember their pet’s birthday.
9.)  17% of people . . . about one in six . . . remember the date of the first live concert they saw.
10.)  15% of people remember the date when they first saw a movie in a theater
