Accidental crime...

[ChinChinDarlings]

NC, because I have become an inadvertent criminal.

This sounds unlikely but it true and I would like some advice and insight.

I was out today with a friend, lunch, galleries, bit of shopping. Tapping away merrily with my card.

My husband met me at the station to pick me up and I said I needed to go to the supermarket to get something and he asked what I'd been paying with all day because he had my card in his pocket.

We'd been away at the weekend and he'd been using my card because that was the card we had on us, I have a premium banking product and my card is very distinctive. I'd checked that I had my card in my holder before I went out today because I knew We'd both been using it at the weekend. Saw it was in my holder and have been tapping away all day.

The card I had in my holder and have been merrily using all day, is not my card. It belongs to a man I've never heard of. The only solution I can see is that I picked his identical card up that he left on a table and I assumed it was my card.

I have been spending a stranger's money all day. Shall I just phone the bank? Won't I look like a criminal?

TL;DR. I have accidentally spent some blokes money all day. I don't know what to do!

My first thought was Colombian marching powder...

Indeed

Fits the stereotype- up all night and pretentious of grandeur! {re debit card being special}

There is nothing suspicious about calling up and rectifying a mistake. Mistakes happen all the time. They'll be happy to have a problem they can actually sort out that doesn't put anyone out of pocket for a change.

Definitely on the drugs

Well if you've got someone else's debit card the world's your lobster I guess..

I don't think I've ever seen a long thread where such a high percentage of the posts were from the OP. Five pages of OP posts in the time it took for the thread to get to 20 pages. Amazing stamina.

😂😅 Yes, case of don't call us, we'll call you!

OP is either rifling through the bins for another bag or she’s crashed out.

…or clutches pearls, been arrested, not sure whether that would be for fraud or possession though 🤔

Maybe just an ever-increasing rap sheet?! 🤔🤣

Premium banking product 🙄

She seemed to be relishing in posting and updating the posting, in almost a manic way. Maybe she suffers from insomnia?

@NoWordForFluffy I’m also getting ‘walks past the lippy counter at Boots and swipes a sample vibe’.

Or it's the marching powder! 🤧

Boots is a bit low rent, surely?! #notpremium

@NoWordForFluffy fitting…but as OP is quite calculated in the showboating choices, you’re probably quite right.

What’s fancy in Manchester I wonder?

At her age!

More like every 30th - certainly not every 5th.

If you mean fine dining - The River Restaurant at the Lowry Hotel is apparently very fancy!

The last time I went to Manchester it was to Wilmslow, I wanted to see Quarry Bank Mill (amazing), and I can't recall which restaurants and bars we went to there but we did go to a few, I had no idea it was posh! We did see Alex Ferguson (just retired) picking up someone in a car at the station (not a central Manchester one) and he was smiling and looked so happy and relaxed. My little sister used to live in Chester so I used to see her and and I dated a man from Wythenshaw a long time ago, we all used to go out in the city centre and to Rush Holme (Curry Mile). I'm a Londoner. I've never seen such horrendous, torrential rain as you get in Manchester. When I ended it with the Manc, I got the train back to London and it was snowing. I mentioned to my nana about it - as she was packed off to Liverpool at 14 when her DM died by her dad to live with her aunt/uncle but she didn't last long, she said I was the same as her. I thought it was all Coronation Street houses. But I do love Betty's cakes! (Yorkshire).

ChinChinDarlings. I have two questions;

WHAT were you on last night, because I would dearly love to get my hands on some!

Are you REALLY as awful as you made yourself sound?

Hope you've managed to get some sleep now, I admire the stamina for keeping on for that long!

Nonsense! I haven't even had to do that abroad!!

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain Thats sounds like a lot of fun, and nothing more fun than posh restaurants but the rain, oh the rain in this country! Hope you’re train was in time, I’m imagining standing in platforms in the pouring rain now.

Where are the fancy shops, we are attempting to figure out where OP in her cocaine fuelled rampage started pinching lipstick samples from.

Not lived in the area for nearly 20 years but when I did a very posh lady I met professionally told me that obviously one only shopped in Chester (never Manchester or (whisper it) Liverpool).

Oh fancy shops! I have no idea.

There are some fancy shops in Chester I know that.

Boodles and Hancocks jewellers perhaps? King Street?
