  • A man in the US received a credit card with the name "Tu Hodges" on it. However, he quickly noticed that this was not his real name, but that the bank had made a mistake. He still used the card and signed his receipts with "Not Tu Hodges." The card later became a viral phenomenon on the internet.


  • A man in the UK received a credit card he had not requested. Instead of returning it, he decided to use it as a "funny joke" and bought a £30 chicken. However, this led to a chain of unexpected events, and he was ultimately arrested by the police.


  • A couple in the US purchased a couch online and paid with their credit card. When they received the couch, however, they found a snake in the delivery. The credit card company refused to refund the purchase because they believed a snake was not a valid reason to request a return.


  • A man in Canada reported finding a credit card in his garden that did not belong to him. When he tried to return the card to the bank, he was told he could keep it as it had already been reported stolen. He used the card to book a flight to Jamaica but was later arrested by the police.



  • A man in the US accidentally received his father's credit card and decided to use it for a good cause. He bought food for the homeless and donated to charities. When his father saw the bill, he thought his son had stolen his card and reported it to the police. The son was later acquitted after explaining his intentions.
