What stoopid thing did you do today?

Mine, well by now it was yesterday. Did the online banking just before going to bed and managed to transfer 1000€ instead of 100€ and cant stop it.
Not going to get much sleep now.

Just hope you got my bank account number correct.

This is getting stranger by the minute.
I am sure I typed in 100 and not 1000 and now I cant access my online banking.

hope it was not one of these fake sites… :open_mouth:

i try to do only stupid things on my birthday (to follow the motto “when was the last time you did something for the last time”). last week --10 years ago, I decided to sign up for Tinder. And since, I have to carry around a 90 kg house pet…

Go to your online banking site by typing in the URL, or by going by the banks web-site. Don’t use links in emails.

Also related to e-banking some weeks ago.

Made an operation on a bank on another time zone at 3h00 local time. Account got blocked for “safety” but no notification about it. I sent money to that account from here. Transfer was blocked and the amount returned to account but…after 2 currency conversions :frowning:

Well the institution was so kind and returned the amount after deducting the owed amount.
Phew!
But that was insane, I could have sworn an oath on my testicles that I typed in “100€” looked at the confirmation of 100€’s and signed off.
If that was a senior moment, then I am not going to be happy in my dotage.

Perhaps consider getting idiot insurance?

I haven’t managed to do anything yet, but hey, the day is still young…

Before I send money the bank sends me a code where I have to confirm the money to be sent. Only then is the transaction complete. So it is 99.99% certain.

I was hoping to read about more SF stoopidity.

Stoopidity is infinite!

it is someone’s famous quote, no? " two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe"

Do not fear, Leute. Soon after as they make it Stupid-proof, a smarter Stupid is sure to come … Evolution dictates it, CI/CD requires it.

Einstein said that he was certain that stupidity is infinite but he was not so sure about the universe.

Well the system IS supposed to be idiot-proof, soooooo, I beat the system.

:flexed_biceps: you also contributed to evolution. :100: :clinking_beer_mugs:

My genes are proud of themselves.
