Rejected petition Let people have a day off work/school on their birthday.

I think that birthdays are a special time for people and sometimes you need to relax and spend time with your family on them. My birthday falls in the half-term most years, but some peoples' don't and I think if they don't want to go to work or school on that particular day, they don't have to.
