Today, I found out that my younger sister had maxed out all three of my credit cards when I tried all three of the cards, and realized that I didn't have $5.29 to buy tampons and Advil. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister stole my credit card, used it to rack up a small debt, then told my mom she will pay me back in the future one day, “happily”. But not right now because she has better things to spend her money on. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. 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, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML
Today, I went to my university bookstore and tried to use my debit card to pay, but got the "Insufficient Funds" notification. I was buying a single postage stamp, which costs 57 cents. FML
Today, I woke up and found a trail of £5 notes in my bedroom, which led all the way downstairs and into the bathroom. I got to the last one, where I was then kicked in the balls from behind. It was my sister. She said it was the money she'd borrowed from me. I was left in my underwear writhing in pain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I thought credit cards require ID to be used.

Maybe you should depend on something other than credit cards. Like a debit card. That has your own, real money on it. But also you can report it to your credit card company, as unauthorized transactions. There is a bright side to credit cards. If you have the cash to back them up.

Stick to Debit cards. 2 reasons: 1) Your sister won't know your pin... 2) If you're still living with your sister, you can't afford 3 credit cards.

SHIT, man! I'd kill to have pain meds and tampons for only 6 bucks! Everywhere I go, it's more along the 10 to 11 dollar range. (Because apparently Advil is expensive as ****.) By the way, OP probably didn't give her sister the cards, the sister probably wrote down the numbers and typed it up in online stores. It's easy, I just wouldn't use that as advice.

Good Lord, people. This doesn't mean the OP did anything wrong. Most people trust their families enough to leave a purse or wallet unattended for awhile. All the sister would need is five minutes to write down the info, and OP's royally screwed. It could take very little time to max everything out online; who checks all balances every day? Also, she could've tried to use a debit card before her credit cards. Lil Sis is very capable of emptying a checking account as well.

FYL for having been maxed out on credit cards thanks to your lil sis, and FYL if you're having cramps. And a big YDI for having been unaware of your credit cards placement and for even having 3 of those. Now, if it had been debit... then still, YDI for not taking better care of your things. Just punish her :) I'm sure it will make you feel better.
