Useless Human

TheCatWoman

I feel really terrible, I tried to buy a birthday present for a friend, the website refused to accept my card because it said I'd pressed the wrong thing and that it's not a visa debit card which it is, so that was a fail.

Then I went to switch our power company, filled in all the forms, it was returned with stars saying that none of the fields were correct.

I give up, I feel totally useless and defeated and worthless. How does everyone else manage when it seems I can't even fill in a form correctly and get my name, address and date of birth wrong, it's not, but the form won't have it.

  • I’m so sorry these experiences made you feel this way! I am very familiar with it though - I often feel like this! The systems we are forced to use for things like this (electricity companies etc) are often badly designed and hugely frustrating. It’s there job to make them user friendly for all sorts of people -  it they are often user hostile! Don’t blame yourself - I’m sure you have lots of other wonderful qualities that are of much more value than filling out an online form. I hope you’re feeling better now Blush
