[falteringly]

Statistically, there is a 7% chance that someone will forget an important date - a birthday or something considered equally significant. If that's the case, then what is the proper protocol if they are aware of it but not entirely certain it's true?

Does it matter if there is no emphasis placed upon it? If it's only briefly mentioned-- Would a... gift be the correct course of action? And if so, what?

But I suppose, then, we must ask ourselves what will happen if we also forget. If we ever truly understood it in the first place.

... how do you remember if it can be so easily overwritten?

is it a woman? because if so you're screwed

[falteringly]

What does gender matter?

[ ... oh. ] I didn't realize.

I might not have time to test that theory.

[ Ironically enough. ]

[majestyofthethrone]

All we have is time.

You have to make a concerted effort to remember.

[She speaks from having to deal with it practically every day.]

A small gift and an apology would be the best course of action though.

It's difficult to make the effort when that information was never given in the first place.

[She frowns, thinking.]

Did they expect you to know?

A gift is always pleasant, but a very sincere apology would be needed, as well.

[ she pauses, thinking on it. and then adds: ]

Perhaps writing it down on parchment would aid us to remember.

[falteringly]

Things that are written down can be just as easily lost.

[skjalf]

Not as easily as they might were they simply left to idle in our minds.

[fatespoken]

you forgot someone's birthday, anniversary, whatever. honestly though? it doesn't matter. but if you are going care this much, then the solution's easy: man up and then apologize.

but seriously, stop over-thinking this. it kind of hurts, seeing you think.

[falteringly]

That would be impossible as it seems you don't understand the nature of the question.

[fatespoken]

you missed an important date, and now you feel like an ass about it.

text. oh the anon function

[swedge]

it'd depend on the date you missed.
but best chances are to get a gift and plan on apologizing a lot

text. literally the worst

[falteringly]

[ He's addressed everything but one so far. ]

What type of gift?

text.but actually though

[swedge]

like I said, depends on the date
and the person
girl, boy, significant other, family member, etc.

[askedtobe]

If you're not sure if it's true, then how do you know it's important?

[falteringly]

They mentioned it specifically. Would it not be?

[askedtobe]

Depends on the person, but i'm gonna go with yes just for the sake of it.

You could always just apologize?

[northerner]

An apology is best, if a date of import is forgotten. Though I suppose I must ask what manner of thing you've forgotten, if you can remember it.

[falteringly]

Too many to count. Perhaps they're best left forgotten if this is the outcome of remembering it.

[northerner]

Would it ease your mind, to let it pass in such a manner?
