IMAGINE celebrating your birthday for 15 years, only to discover the date your parents had always told you you were born on was completely wrong.
That was the case for one man, who recently opened up about finding out his mum and dad had got his birthday wrong.
TikTok user Danny Tower, aka @dannytee13, posted a video, filling his social media followers in on the big mix-up.
He said directly to camera: “Tell me you were born into a dysfunctional family without telling me you were born in a dysfunctional family.
“So for the first fifteen years of my life, I actually celebrated my birthday on the day after my legit birthday.”
Danny continued to explain what had happened, as he said even the school had been told the wrong date and were none the wiser.

He said: “I don’t know how or who specifically f***ed up that bad.
“But my mum, my dad, my brother, the school – everyone had it down that my birthday was on September 21st.
“It wasn’t until I was going on my first holiday where I had to get a passport – so fifteen, sixteen years later when I needed a passport that I realised it’s the 20th.”
As people started writing in the comment section, they also shared their own stories and said they knew people in similar scenarios.
One wrote: “My dad thought his first name was something completely different until he found his birth certificate when he was 18.”
Another said: “I have 2 dates of birth – one on my national insurance and a different one on my birth certificate.”

While a third said they could also empathise with Danny.
They commented: “You and me both! Also found out my surname wasn’t legal when I went to get married.”
