Today, I overdrew my account and ended up paying an extra 35 bucks for a 1.99 item. It was an application on the iPhone that is supposed to help me keep track of my money. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 overdrawn $15 at the bank. I paid in my last $80 in cash, only for them to inform me that I've been slapped with $90 in overdraft fees. FML
Today, I went to deposit a check, only for them to accidentally deduct the whole thing from my account. I didn't notice this until I went to buy groceries, after the bank had closed. I'm in negative numbers and will get an overdraft charge by the time I can get it fixed. 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, my bank overdrafted my account to pay a bill that isn't due until next month. When I called them, they said they would fix the mistake, but I have to restore the account to zero before they'll give me my money back. So, I have to pay for my own money with the money they won't give me. FML
Today, my cell phone service was interrupted because I owed the company 27 cents. It cost 36 dollars to reinstate my service. FML
Today, I have -$700 in my current account, $500 from overdraft fees because I spent money they told me I had. I don't get paid till the 15th and when I cash in my paycheck all of it will go to bringing me even. So the $9 I found in my wallet this morning will have to last me untill the 30th. FML
Today, I was going to an event with my friends and I'd told them I could pay for an Uber since I had a coupon for 70% off. It was only going to cost 5 bucks, but later I looked at my bank statement and an additional 15 bucks was taken from me. FML
Today, I found out my bank charged me $50 for not having any money. Way to go bank, way to go. FML
Today, I looked at my bank balance. It read $1.23. That's higher than it usually is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, if you didn't have $1.99 in your account - you should probably skip buying apps on the iPhone and do things the old fashioned way. I mean, honestly, it doesn't sound like you have much money to keep track of anyway so I think a notebook and a pen would probably do the trick (or use that Notes app and the calculator on the phone)!

It sucks when that happens, but if you don't do it a lot you can usually call up your bank and be nice and respectful and ask them to reverse the charge. The same thing happened to me on a couple iTunes songs.

I did the same thing only not on an iphone application only mine was TWO items (therefore they took $70) One item was 2.17 the other was 6 dollars. the only reason i overdrafted to begin with was because my dad had used my card without my permission for a dating website

Oh and on top of that, I just saw this yesterday for the first time and havent had a chance to go to the bank yet, and they charged me again today for not having payed my fees soon enough. I am now -$115 in my account for overdrawing my account less than $10.

Don't worry. Call your bank, talk to the manager and have them reverse the overdraft fee. If you are polite they will do it.
