TIFU and I need to share with you all. While taking my dog for a long walk in the heat, I decided to wear light shorts. As I was sweating profusely, my phone, which was in my pocket, got unlocked due to the friction with my leg.
I didn't realize this until 20 minutes later, as I was enjoying my walk. When I got home and looked at my phone, I noticed that my Gmail account was open, and there was a random string of letters written on the screen. I quickly checked all of my open apps to make sure that I hadn't accidentally sent a compromising photo or message to anyone, but fortunately, I hadn't. Some apps were open, but I didn't see what harm it could do, so I closed them without checking
HAHAHA. I SHOULD'VE.
20 minutes later, just when I thought I was in the clear, a notification popped up from Deliveroo (similar to Uber Eats). It said that my order was ready, and it was an expensive one – 80€ worth of tacos. As an unemployed person with no money, I couldn't afford to spend that much on a single meal. I immediately called the restaurant to cancel the order, but they said that it wasn't possible and that I should've called sooner because everything is ready... If only I had checked the Deliveroo app 20 minutes ago......
The delivery guy arrived, gave me three large bags of food, and sarcastically told me to have a good party. I explained to him that my phone had ordered the food by itself, and he felt sorry for me. I even offered him a taco, but he declined.
Feeling disappointed, I was left alone with a dozen hot tacos. It was 3pm I already ate... I took two of them for myself and put them in the fridge to reheat later. Since I didn't like some of the ingredients, I decided to give the remaining tacos to the homeless people in the street or random people. Random people looked at me very suspiciously, but homeless ones took them happily as it was still hot.
So yes I did something "good" but 80€ is a big amount of money for an unemployed guy like me. Like I sometimes skip meals because I don't have enough money. To make matters worse, when I contacted Deliveroo for a refund, they refused, saying that since I had received the food, I couldn't get my money back. I argued that they should have asked for confirmation from my bank before accepting the purchase, but they wouldn't listen and thought I was trying to scam them.
TL;DR, the moral of the story is to always keep an eye on your phone when it's in your pocket or turn it off altogether to avoid any mishaps. And to avoid to get a dozen of tacos on your table at 3pm.
