Not your fault

By Steve - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Canada - Ottawa

Today, I had to explain to a customer how our hotel charged his card, even though he has never stayed with us. Apparently his wife is a regular customer. I can't help but feel like a homewrecker. FML

That's a terrible thing to have to tell someone. Almost as horrible to have it actually happen to you.

I feel bad you had to be the one to tell him. It's not easy to tell someone that their partner is cheating on them. And using their credit card. I must say the wife sounds like an idiot. "I'll use my has bands card to cheat on him so I don't have to pay." I guess she forgot about the statements.

Create a soap opera, make a bunch of money off of it, and pay OP back some of the money

His wife isn't very good at covering her tracks. At least he knows now. I'm sorry you had to be the bearer of bad news though.

I don't know what would be more upsetting; the fact that I married a cheater, or the fact that I married one of the stupidest cheaters there is.

She MUST have wanted to get caught. Even if only subconsciously. I mean, right? No one could be THAT stupid, could they? Ugh, I guess people really ARE that stupid.

How many times until they figure out don't get married unless u can keep your vows. Or at least learn to only pay for motels in cold hard cash.

7- I personally like paying for my hotels with soft, warm cash.

Actually, for record keeping purposes, it's supposed to be illegal to rent a hotel room by paying in cash. Supposed to be credit or debit so that your information will be stores.... I think?

Usually I'm pretty good at deciphering things written horribly like this. However, this comment escapes me...

8 says that if the wife's name isn't on the credit card, the hotel shouldn't have accepted the card in the first place. And that she (the wife) is either dumber than a rock or she wanted to get caught. And then 8 says it sucks OP had to break the news to this guy. You're welcome :)

Credit cards don't always have to be in the name of the person that owns it, the card holder can authorize a second person to use the card without it bring in their name.

This is very true. I give my card to my friend and my brother all the time, I tell them just sign my name and it always works.

Card companies don't care. Anyone can sign the slip with any signature. They don't have time to look at each and every signature of the millions of receipts they get every day. Unless the cardholder calls them to dispute a charge, that receipt just stays filed away. That's why you should be careful with cards and always check statements. If the man's wife isn't authorized to use the card he can press charges, but if it was a debit card and her name is on the account (not to mention he told her the PIN) he's SOL.

It's better that you told him then instead of him finding out later and possibly suffering from debt due to a very high credit card bill ... The wife deserved to be busted anyway
