Today, I canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then I found it. Then I found out I can't reactivate it, because I asked for a replacement card. I'm from CA, and I'm in Mexico with only 20 bucks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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, as soon as I put my card into an ATM, the words "Out of Order" popped up and it would not return my card. Since I was at the bank, I got a free replacement. Trying to draw money again the second machine did the same thing and a third card costs more than what I have in my account. FML
Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML
Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one was stolen. It took the bank six weeks and five separate orders to figure it out, on top of which they've charged me a rush fee. 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 hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML
Today, I received a new debit card, so I cut the old one into pieces. I then picked up my remaining card, and realized I'd cut up the wrong one. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm appalled at all the racist jokes here. Why when anything involves Mexico, some bigot decides to get some cheap laughs out of it. No one in America has any compassion...

You can probably just go to a bank, show your ID and ask for money from your bank account. It's how people withdrew money before ATM's existed.

And this is why you should always plan ahead ... or plan to give a lot of third world head for a little bit of coin. Hey maybe you can do a donkey show or something like that to double or tripple your money. Just a thought. Happy Vacation future *****!

1) As it has been stated 6 times already, FMyLife works on most internet-capable phones and ipod touch. FYL for being stuck with a low-tech phone. 2) Contrary to popular belief, they do in fact have both computers and the big I interwebs in Mexico. (Even though Telmex is up there with AT&T on the awesome scale of awesomeness.) 3) I am 99.9999% certain there is a US Embassy somewhere in Mexico City. 4) If I were stuck alone in Mexico with no money, waiting for somebody to return my phone call, a money order, or a bus to the Embassy, I doubt I would have much to do but play with my phone, either.
