I have a friend from college, we were very close at school in Virginia but she moved to California and I moved to New York where constant communication is extremely difficult, and a three hour time difference didn't help.
For some reason her birthday was always hard for me to remember, I could never remember if it was the 20th, 21st, 22nd, or 23rd of July.
The first year out of school, I forgot it completely and sent flowers the following day to apologize.
This year, (second year out) I again forgot her birthday.
I went on with my day as normal - walked to work, got a coffee, started up the computer.
At about 11am my time, 8am her time, I received a text message from her saying "Thank you for the birthday call, sorry I missed it!"
I had absolutely not called her that morning, I was sure of it. I thought she had to have been mistaken, I almost even responded saying she was, but at least I was reminded of her birthday and I looked like the good guy! Before I did respond though, I looked through my phone just to check and see - so I could know if she responded with "Wrong number" about her last text.
Sure enough my phone had dialed her number while in my bag on my walk to work - 8am our time, 5am her time! I ALWAYS put my phone on lock so that it can't butt dial - but thank God I forgot that morning!
