I woke up this morning and found I accidently had sent a handful of bids on searchfeed to $3 instead of 3 cents. Fortunately my balance ran out before any serious damage was done :1bluewinky:
 


Had a similar issue with Yahoo last week. Changed the bid on a wildly popular term in the wee hours of the morning to 2.50 instead of .25. Oooops. Would have been ok if Yahoo had stopped at my daily budget but instead ran up charges of 10 times my daily to the tune of almost $1000!!! Yahoo simply responded that the daily is simply a guide and that they'd smooth out the overrun by not showing my ads for the next 10 days so that I'd hit my monthly budget.... WTF!
 
searchfeed is also sneaky how they have the pre-checked box set to 'make #1' when adding keywords. i've left it clicked many times on accident.
 
I find Overture's interface rediculously tricky. Is there a way to set it so it won't automatically charge my CC everytime the balance is low? I can't believe they don't let me turn automatic CC charge off...

yeah overture is really sneaky in that regard
I havent found a way to turn it off either
 
I had to call yahoo to disable one of my credit cards.. worse they change ad copy on you, both title and text.
 
This reminds me...

I have this...we'll call it a "feature"...where I sometimes can't think straight if I'm really, really tired and I think, write and sometimes even talk nonsensical gibberish.

As a result, I've had a few pretty interesting conversations throughout the years and have sent a couple of weird mails :D
