Today, I had money set out to pay bills, for a gift, and to put in a card as my cousin's wedding gift. I was rushing and not paying attention and ended up putting all of the money in the wedding card. $400 from one person. I guess I'll have no cable or cell phone this month. FML

Today, I realized while paying bills on my phone I fat-fingered which credit card I was paying and sent 299 to a paid-off card instead of 200 to another one. Now I'm going to have overdraft fees too. FML

Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML

Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML

Today, I went out to eat with my friends. When the bill came, all 3 of them had "inconveniently" forgot their wallets at home. I ended up having to pay. It was a $178 check. FML

Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML

Today, my daughter, whom I consigned a credit card for, told me she was in a bit of financial trouble. It turns out that she was trying to pay off her credit card with the same credit card her bill was for, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML

Today, I got a call from my cable company in regards to a bill I didn't pay. I paid the bill two weeks ago in full, but they never told me the account changed when my name was put on the account. So now I owe $170 more, and my ex-roommate is getting a $140 refund in the mail. FML

Today, my fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. FML

Try explaining it as nicely as you possibly can to your cousin about the situation and maybe they may understand?

Literally just call, communicate, talk. These are your bills, what you need to pay to live. Ask them with an urgency as if you lost money to keep it polite. Most people DO NOT CARE and WILL NOT HATE YOU over stuff like this. Bad relationships are seen and stick out more because their more entertaining. Just ask!

How can you not pay attention while paying bills? That's just asking for a disaster.

I never get how in the States you guys don't have automatic billing on anything? Over here everything is done straight away without us having to send any money anywhere ourselves. Get some direct debits people!!!

We do, why some people don't is beyond me. I have it and it's wonderful because I never have to worry about a thing.

Although I 99% agree with you, bills can also mean things you need to pay cash for. Car repairs, home repair labor. And phone bills may be phone cards, or he is paying someone who pays his bills for him (his parents, or cash to someone who sells prepaid cards for cheap) Not all bills are online, not everything can be autopaid!

We have the option, but not everyone chooses to have it. I use it for my TV bill, but not my electricity bill because I work a minimum wage job, getting paid every two weeks, and I'm not guaranteed to have the amount for my energy bill the day it's due. I support myself so I'm usually out of money by the time I get paid again.
