Birthdays
My best birthday so far was my 30th, when I held a Polish Bear Hunting evening in some woods - everyone dressed up in hunting gear, ate a Polish hunting stew round a big fire and then, armed with torches, ran out to find the foil-wrapped chocolate bears I'd hidden in the trees.
My worst so far was my first at university - my birthday was the first official day of term, so I thought there'd be loads of people there to have fun with. No, Cambridge is so posh nobody actually turns up on the first night. I got very drunk with the barman.
What extremes of birthdays have you had?

bad for me, worse for them
I was sitting in school on my birthday when the principal came in and whispered something to the teacher. Then they wheeled a TV into the room and turned it on so we could watch the news. The space shuttle Challenger had blown up on my birthday.
I guess I can't complain, since there are at least seven other people who had a worse time than I did that day.
