I glanced at my online credit card account and saw a charge I didn't recognize (I almost never use my cc, just for emergencies and a gas purchase every month to pay off and build credit). I had never heard of the restaurant. Went to their website, didn't recognize anything, and I know I didn't go to a restaurant that night, I went to the Beale.

So I called customer service to look into the charge. While they are transferring me, I think, "duh, look in your cell phone log and see if you called them, I did at 12:15am that day... finally it dawns on me, I bought a sandwich while at the Beale (this restaurant deliveres to the bar), and I put it on my credit card because I didn't want to give out my debit card info.

I apologized profusely, but I'm an idiot.

Sure a brief embarrassing moment, but better than the hassles that go with thinking someone has your credit information.

Yeah, the $15 didn't bother me. The fear that someone had my credit card information did.

I think you are wise to investigate your credit card charges every month. Companies take advantage of inattentive customers with automatic renewals (magazines are the worst) and other under-the-radar charges. Good for you.

Yeah, a few years ago, after noticing that Charter was still billing me monthly for cable 9 months after I moved out, I reconcile my bank account 1-3x/week, and my cc account 1-2x/month.

Not a big deal, I've done that at least 3 times so far. I keep a close eye on my credit cards, especially the visa, they're just not that safe

I got to the gym last night and realized I was barefoot. Had to work out in sandals.....but, my blood sugar was low so at least i had an excuse.

lol, that's a good one. I used a couple years ago when I couldn't rise to the occasion with a girl I was seeing one night.

i brought the remote control for my living room television with me to the gym a few days ago.

I visit cards talk sometimes.
