Today, I realized that 6 months ago I signed up for a 3 day trial for a porn website that turns into a $30 membership after 3 days. I completely forgot the day after and never viewed it. I've spent $180 so far. And I can't remember my password. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I spent well over an hour waiting for customer service to assist me with my forgotten password, only to realize, 5 minutes into the conversation, that I had never created an account in the first place. FML
Today, I realized I forgot to cancel a free trial for a meditation app. So, ironically, I now owe $40 to an app that’s supposed to reduce stress. FML
Today, I'd registered for a free work event, but I forgot about it and registered for a free social event on the same day. I thought I would skip the work event, but I need to pay 500 € to skip it! Why can't I remember dates?! FML
Today, I finally got a product I ordered two weeks ago as a free trial-only pay shipping deal. Also today, the same company took an extra $130 out of my account without authorisation. Best part: when I called to sort things out, they told me they had no record of my order details. FML
Today, I woke up with a vague memory of buying something last night while drunk. According to my credit card summary I made a $270 purchase from a home shopping channel. I guess in 5-7 days I'll find out what it was. 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 was trying to be a responsible adult and check my credit score. I accidentally mistyped my password five times, got locked out, and had to call customer service. They asked me so many security questions, I started questioning my own identity (and sanity). FML
Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML
Today, I received an almost $400 bill for Internet services I don't even have. When I called and talk to them they told me I still owe them $77 because I didn't catch it within 3 months. FML
Today, out of the kindness of my heart, and so he wouldn't have to spend any money, I gave my ex-boyfriend my login information to my Vudu account. Big mistake. He logged me out of all devices, changed the password, and won't give me the new login information until I give him head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The naked truth is that you'll get stripped of your money if you expose yourself too much.

Someone tell me...How does watching **** automatically make one a perv? Someone might not have a good love life and can just get off with ****. THat doesnt make them a perv. Also OP may have used the trial then never went back to the site for a while. OP FYL

There's nothing wrong with ****, you guys! But YDI for being forgetful, *and* for not closely checking your statement monthly, every time.

YDI u idiot for paying for 1 of those 3 day trials.Everbody who has looked online for **** has seen them and read the smallprint that says that after the 3 days it shoots up to you having to pay full whack for shit ****. i agree #114 why would u want to waste money when you can get it for free?# OP just tell ur bank/buiding society to stop allowing the transfers

I had to deal with the same problem once. Call your bank and arrange a meeting. Claim the transactions were unauthorized, because they actually were, being hidden prices and all. Say the company they're sending the bill through (the one that's charging you) doesn't show any way for you to cancel these withdrawals. And that they put you information up publicly so you can see what your personal information without even having an account there. Ask for the company's phone number, call them, sound pissed but under control, tell them the charges were unauthorized and you would like to cancel any related subscriptions AND that you want a refund. When I did it, my bank was even willing to sue the companies (yes that's right, two) that did that to me in order to get my money back and gain some for themselves. But a week after I called the companies my accounts were canceled, the money was deposited into my accounts, and the back flipped the overdraft fee!
