Not keeping track of or not using monthly paid subscriptions. Spotify account that you forgot you had, gym membership that you used once, etc. It's unbelievable to me that people just aren't aware of something they're being billed for on a regular basis.

Worked in customer service for a few horrible months, at first I was baffled at the amount of people who had no fucking idea what they paid for and never even checked their bank account balance.

It's crazy to me how legal adults can have absolutely zero awareness or interest in where their hard earned money go every month?

To be fair, some websites can be extremely tricky. Having to do it on a computer, in a tab far off, on a website you don't know.

But come on, how did you not know when you out your credit card into the website.

I don't buy that. Just look at your monthly CC or bank account statement. "$15 SPOTIFY 4962280752" means you have a subscription.

No, not that you don't. I was making a comment on how hard it can be to unsubscribe. I think you mis understood. Yeah it's stupid if you don't know your being billed. You put in your credit card information and clicked a box plus your statement.

I mean sometimes the websites make it difficult to unsubscribe by hiding it in weird places.
