TIFU by Forgetting to Cancel my Photoshop Trial Subscription

Today, like many TIFU posts, this happened a few weeks ago but the repercussions are hitting me now. So, about two weeks ago, I decided to try out Photoshop for a fun family photo edits and Generative Fill. I found a sweet deal for a 14-day trial and thought, "Great! I'll just cancel before it charges me."

Fast forward to today, and I found myself in a predicament. I tried to cancel my Photoshop subscription after the trial ended (because i forgot) thinking that i'll pay a month worth anyway, but to my horror, I discovered that Adobe was not going to let me off the hook that easily. They want to charge me if I cancel early, and not just a small fee. No, they want to charge me 50% of a year worth of subscription

So here I am, stuck in a year-long commitment, paying monthly for a service I no longer need or want. It's incredibly frustrating how these companies make it so easy to sign up but nearly impossible to cancel without facing hefty penalties.

To anyone reading this, learn from my mistake: always read the fine print, set reminders for trial cancellations, and be prepared to fight tooth and nail to break free from sneaky subscription clauses.

TL;DR: Tried to cancel my Photoshop trial subscription, now facing hefty charges for breaking the contract. Beware of the fine print, folks.

edit-added few stuff and plurals

edit-I tried registering a new account to look for this stupid clause.. and its in a tiny link that leads you to a new page and the clause can be found in the bottom of the new page.

Should you cancel after 14 days, you’ll be charged a lump sum amount of 50% of your remaining contract obligation and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
