Work and Money: Today, I discovered that I once again forgot my credit card in...

Today, I discovered that I once again forgot my credit card in the vending machine at work. This is the second time in a week that this happened, and now 6 coworkers have bought drinks with my card since I lost it. I have no way of making it back to work for a week. FML

Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Today, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. FML

Today, my Visa card randomly stopped working. I have no other way of getting money or paying for anything. I was going to buy next week's food tomorrow, but I guess I'll just starve instead. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store, but once I'd filled my cart, I realized that I'd forgotten my wallet, and because I'm not the sort of animal who just dumps stuff in random aisles, I had to awkwardly put all my items back on their shelves. FML

Today, I received my replacement debit card in the mail after losing my previous one. I've already lost my new one. FML

Today, I ran out of cash. The nearest ATM to my house is over a half hour away by foot. After walking all the way there under the blistering heat of the sun, I realized I'd left my card back at home. FML

Today, I went to an ATM to see how much money I had in my account. I put the card in. It never gave it back. FML

Losing streak

Today, I went to the bank to get a temporary debit card, since I lost my wallet a week ago. On my drive across the street from the bank to the DMV, a car slammed into mine at the intersection, nearly totaling my car. The movie theater I went to last week just called and said they'd found my wallet. FML

How does one forget their credit card in a vending machine--let alone more than once?

First time it happened. You made a mistake. Second time it happened you deserve it.

why can't you have someone at work put your credit card away for you? Using your credit card to buy stuff just because you left it sitting in the vending machine is still illegal. in a sense, it is credit card theft.

also, I'm from Nova Scotia, I thought people in Halifax was smarter than that. You should have canceled the card right away. Ydi

Have the credit card company put a. Temporary hold on the card. Problem solved.

Taxi, bus, Uber, lyft, flying cars driven by Ron Weasley, there’s a way to get to work.

I get the feeling that you're the kind of person that shouldn't have a credit card. It might be a little inconvenient to pay in cash but much less inconvenient than having other people spend a ton of money at your expenses. You're lucky they only bought drinks with it!

Can't you put a temporary stop on your card via online banking? I have that option with my bank

Cancel the card immediately and stop payment on those sodas. Gather all your coworkers and hand them the bill along with the stop payment fees for each of those sodas!
