Seth GodinI kept Snapchat installed for two years after I stopped using it. Not because I liked it. Because I had four years of memories saved inside it and I was too lazy to figure out how to get them out. Photos from holidays. Stupid videos with friends. Stuff I genuinely wanted to keep but couldn’t … Read more
My ex was using my Spotify for eight months after we broke up. I didn’t notice at first. Spotify lets multiple devices connect to one account. The free version only plays on one device at a time, but Premium lets you download on up to five. She had my login saved on her phone from … Read more
Trainline once charged me £10 to refund a £12.50 ticket. Read that again. I paid twelve fifty for a train I couldn’t take because the train was cancelled. Not by me. By the train company. The train literally didn’t run. And Trainline wanted ten pounds of my refund for the privilege of giving me my … Read more
Last Thursday my pad thai arrived cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Like it had been sitting somewhere for an hour before the driver picked it up. The chips were soggy. The spring rolls had that sad deflated look food gets when it’s been steaming inside a sealed bag for too long. I paid £18.40 for that … Read more
I uninstalled Uber Eats three times before I actually deleted my account. Each time I thought removing the app was enough. It wasn’t. My account sat there with my home address, my saved card, my order history, and my phone number. All still stored on Uber’s servers. All still accessible to anyone who got hold … Read more
Disney Plus charged me for three months after I stopped watching it. Not because I forgot. I genuinely thought I’d cancelled. Turns out I’d cancelled it on the wrong device. I cancelled inside the app on my Fire Stick. That did nothing. The subscription kept running through my iPhone because Apple was billing me. Three … Read more

I asked Apple for a refund at 11:14 pm on a Sunday. It was for a photo editing app I downloaded, opened once, and immediately knew I didn’t need. The app looked polished on the App Store page. In reality, almost every useful feature sat behind another paywall. I expected the usual mess. Hidden forms. … Read more
I found eleven active subscriptions last month. Eleven. I knew about six of them. The other five had been quietly draining my bank account for months. One was an app I downloaded in 2023 and used exactly once. Another was a Readly trial I swore I cancelled. Apparently I didn’t. Total wasted: roughly £34 a … Read more
I deleted TikTok in November 2025 after realising I was averaging three hours a day on it. Three hours. That’s twenty-one hours a week watching strangers point at text on a screen. The decision to delete was easy. The actual process was not. TikTok doesn’t let you just press delete and walk away. There’s a … Read more
