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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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.

How did your sister use your credit card(s)? It sucks, but that's why they tell you to keep your PIN and security stuff secret! I'd say - demand all the money back. With interest. After all, a bank would do it :P

Who the hell needs more than one credit card? If you buy so much crap that you need more than one, you've got some messed-up financial priorities.

Who the hell uses a credit card for five dollars? And has three? You totally deserved it.

That's why America needs to catch up to the rest of the world and use PINs for all bank cards... unless you do have a PIN and were stupid enough to give it to your sister.

If you're using a credit card to purchase 2 items totaling 5 bucks, then I agree, your life IS f*cked.

You don't need a PIN for a credit card, that's a debit card you need it for. People have credit cards to establish credit... so if you are responsible enough to have one then you most likely can handle 3. It helps establish more credit. People who are smart don't buy stuff they can't afford so it's good to use it for gas or little things then pay for it when the bills comes in. You have to think before buying something, it's called responsibly people, not all people go into debt by having credit cards.
