Adrian Peru, a content creator on the likes of TikTok and YouTube, took to the former to reveal he's been celebrating his birthday on the wrong day for the past 25 years.
He began: "So after 25 years I just realized this is not my real date of birth. Apparently I was born on July 7 and not April 4, my birthday was last week."
The content creator explained how he had a call from his car insurance provider to say his premiums were going down because he had just turned 25.
"I told them, 'Shouldn't you guys have charged me less four months ago on my birthday?'"
The car insurance provider told Adrian it showed on their records he was actually born in July, which led to him showing them his identification that detailed an April 4 birthday.
After attempting to get the money back since April, the insurance provided asked Adrian if he could provide a copy of his birth certificate.
And you guessed it, the birth certificate confirmed the TikToker was actually born on July 7.
"My whole like I have never celebrated in July, always April," he added before asking: "How does this happen?"
Adrian did not disclose how he went through a large part of his life celebrating his birthday on the wrong day, but at least he'll be able to celebrate appropriately from now on.
The bizarre story quickly went viral on TikTok, with over 12,000 people flocking to the comments section.
"What have your parents been telling you?" one person asked.
"You telling me school never noticed this?" a second asked while a third remarked: "Happy Birthdayyy 😭 but going from an Aries to a cancer has to be capital punishment."
Meanwhile, a fourth quipped: "At least it’s just the birth date and not the year."
