Today, my credit card got blocked. Apparently, my bank thinks buying a $130 flat iron online is suspicious. FML

Surprise!
Today, my bank, being overly paranoid about fraud, declined my Christmas purchase on Amazon because I usually don't spend that much all at once. Instead of Amazon simply asking to try the card again, they instead switched to a different card in the wallet. Which would be fine, except it's a shared family account. FML

Today, my fiancé and I got a joint account recently, but when I got home he was on the phone to the bank claiming our credit card number was cloned, because of the ridiculous number of random purchases. I checked my online banking. It was all just my normal buying habits. FML

Make it make sense
Today, I had to contact my bank because their fraud department thought me buying gifts for 7 different people for Christmas was fraud. It wouldn't be a big deal, except they then wouldn't accept the original purchase and I had to go to the website to get the purchase to go through a second time. My bank is paranoid. FML

Hey, Big Spender!
Today, I put a lock on my account because of several unknown purchases for large amounts. Turns out it was my girlfriend, without asking. Who is now mad at me for blocking her parcels. 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 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, after my bank sent me a new card because the old one had been compromised, I woke up to find that it's already been used to start an Amazon Prime account and order several movies. The card to replace a compromised card has been compromised. FML

Why would you spend $130 on a flat iron?

My first thought was that it was an antique iron for clothes, not the one you use on your hair. I have an uncle who collects antique irons (yeah, it's a little weird) and he says they can cost hundreds of dollars, so to me $130 for a flat iron is nothing.

If the purchase originated in another company, your bank with usually notify you or block the transaction until you approve it through them. Honestly, be glad they do this for you. Better safe than sorry

I spent about $130 or so on my Chi iron...in 2002. I still use it all the time and it works perfectly. I also have a $30 ceramic flat iron that I bought when I moved and couldn't find my Chi and it in no way compares to my Chi. I've travelled all over with my Chi and it's been bounced around in luggage God only knows how many times and works as good as the day I bought it. We shell out the dough on certain things for good reasons. Quality costs money people.

#74 Agreed. I bought a $30 flat iron a year ago and it's practically worthless. It sort of straightens, but mostly all it does is fry my hair into oblivion. Are the more expensive ones less damaging?

I think so at least. My $30 one will get the job done but I feel like it fries my hair more. I can get some pretty good steam coming off of my hair with my Chi and it still doesn't look or feel fried.
