Today, I was shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart with my mom. As we pulled up to the cashier, I noticed it was a really hot girl from my school. Trying to be cool, I told my mom that I'll be paying for the purchases. My debit card was denied. My mom had to pay. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store. My checker was very hot. When it came time for me to pay, I swiped my debit card and the machine kept rejecting it. Sure that I had money in my account, I did it again, before the cute checker informed me that I was swiping my driver's license, not my debit. FML

Today, I went shopping with my mother, when someone snuck a pack of condoms into our cart while our backs were turned. When we got to the register, my mom, whose wealth makes me ineligible for financial aid, noticed the condoms and she announced that she wasn't paying for the college I got accepted to next year because she doesn't want a promiscuous daughter.

Today, I was shopping in an upscale store. As I was changing, I heard one of the snobby saleswomen say to mine "You shouldn't bother. She isn't going to buy anything." Determined to "show her", I purchased everything I'd tried on. It came to around $500. My credit card was declined. FML

Random update?

Today, since it was payday, I figured I’d take my mom out for burgers. The bank also decided to do a random update on our debit card, resulting in my card declining three times. My mom ended up having to pay for our meals. So much for trying to treat my mom out to dinner. I’m still pissed. FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, I was at the gas station with my grandma. After I slid her card and began to pump, I convinced her that it was a lot easier and more convenient to pay at the pump with your credit card instead of paying inside. She yelled as I realized I went $20 over what she had to spend. FML

Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML

Today, a woman came through my drive-thru and ordered a latte, but the bank had closed off her cards and she was short 30 cents in cash. I felt bad, so I paid for her. When I went home, I told my dad what I did, thinking he'd be proud of how he raised me but no, he said I'd wasted my money, and made me feel bad about it. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML

Today, I was buying an expensive pillow for my mother from a store clerk who wouldn't stop staring at my boobs. After paying, I saw an elderly lady who had dropped a bag, so I walked to help. I walked back to the clerk, who refused to believe I paid. The reason? He didn't recognize my face. FML

How does this impress a woman? You saying all women only love money? Well it's true to a certain point.

It's a debit card to all the people who are saying 'it's ok because it's a credit card and the bank can mess it up.' No it is not a CREDIT card it is a DEBIT card. Huge difference! Yes the bank can mess up a credit card purchase, but only YOU can mess up a debit card purchase. You should know and keep track of all your purchases and how much you have left in your debit card!

why do people feel the need to add the actual word "sarcasm" to their post when being sarcastic thats like me going: Hey what do you call a cow with no legs? GROUND beef /Joke heres a basic rule: If the person reading doesnt understand that your being sacastic one of two things is happening. Either 1. you fail at the art of sarcasm or 2. the reader is an idiot.

wow YDI totally. and #33 Debit cards do get denied on occasion. So maybe you should check your facts before posting and calling the OP a liar.

#33, perhaps you're the one who should check your facts before you post. Debit cards can be declined. Maybe your bank likes to charge you overdraft fees, but I've had plenty of customers come in over the years, try to pay with debit, and get the dreaded 'Insufficient funds' message. It can and does happen. Often. And to all those being hard on the OP about not keeping track of his finances- we don't all keep track of every last penny... What if the total bill was $26.73, and he only had $24.50 left in his account? He may have had an idea of how much money he had left, but overshot by just a couple of dollars. Although, I have to agree- you were shopping with your Mom. I'm not sure there would've been much you could've done to impress a girl given that fact...Unless it was Mother's Day or something...
