Day Off: Funny Stories About Forgetfulness

Perhaps the biggest fear of every self-respecting person is forgetting the map of the house and remembering it at the most inopportune moment. Let’s not say that we, as the editorial office, have not encountered such situations, so we are all like the “this is what happened” meme in this regard. And yes, the thought of forgetting the card and returning home without shopping or manicure seems scary and gives you goosebumps when you realize what it is, but then it turns into funny stories that you tell with a laugh.

By the way, if you remember, such a phobia (and there is no way to give it another name) did not always exist. But fortunately, for those who sometimes even forget their name, there are useful applications that will help not to go broke. For example, like the SBPay application. With the help of it, you can pay for purchases in a “one-touch” manner by tapping your phone on the NFC plate or scanning the QR code of the SBP. Do not rush to doubt, because this method is absolutely safe and has been personally verified by the editor of this text.

By the way, using SBPay is as easy as peeling a pear. If you have an Android phone, just download the app from RuStore.

• Search “SBPay” and download the app

• Enter your phone number and go to the app

• Choose the bank you want

• Connect your account

• Voila, you are amazing!

If you have an iOS phone and have already downloaded SBPay, we recommend that you do not delete or update the app. Currently, previously installed versions continue to work.

You can pay for your purchases using NFC beacons (we’re sure you’ve often seen little purple stickers at checkouts in cafes or stores) or the SBP QR code.

To pay for your purchase, open SBPay and scan the QR code with your phone’s camera, then confirm payment. To pay using an NFC tag, go to the application, press the “Pay with NFC” button, bring your phone next to the NFC tag on the payment page and confirm the payment. Or unlock your phone, tap it on the NFC plate and then click on the push notification that appears and go to SBPay to confirm the payment.

You don’t have to worry about the security of payments made through SBPay. First of all, the service does not use your bank card information. In order to register to the application and make payments, the account number and the phone number to which this account is linked are required. Secondly, the app implements the most modern and reliable security and privacy practices. Protection is provided by the participating banks of the Fast Payments System, the Bank of Russia and the National Payment Card System. Thirdly, SBPay developers took care of the security of data in the application and the security of payments. Therefore, if you do not have any authentication methods such as fingerprint or Face ID installed on your phone, you cannot use the SBPay application.

Meanwhile, while installing an app that will replace your wallet, we found some funny stories from people telling how they forgot their cards and found themselves in strange situations.

Anastasia, 28 years old

I’m a big fan of deliveries and online shopping in general. It so happened that, due to my work schedule, I do not always have the moral strength to just go to the store and buy groceries. I am already silent about preparing something from them. But luckily, I urgently needed a bag of chips on the way home. At that moment I thought only he could save me from starvation.

I walked into the store, bought some food, and remembered that all my cards were left in my other jacket. And of course there was no cash. It seems to me that I will never forget the saleswoman’s menacing look, my uncomfortable hesitation before handing her the receipts back and running out of the store to the sound of explosions, just like in an Indian movie. Should I clarify that I never returned there after this incident?

Vlad, 20 years old

Just imagine it. I get to my friends’ cabin and realize I have about ten feet of gas left in the tank. I didn’t have towing a car in my weekend plans, so I pulled into a gas station. And it was like being in a horror movie. There was no one there except me and the cashier, but that’s not the point. Having refueled and with full confidence that I can go to my friends, I reach into my pocket and realize that there is nothing there but powder and sugar from my grandmother. Gasoline is already in the car, but the money still doesn’t appear in your hand. Luckily, the cashier paid for my purchase and wrote down her number so I could transfer the money to her. But now, every time I leave the house, I check if there is money in my wallet.

Marina, 45 years old

It seems that, as you get older, it will be possible not to forget some things when you leave the house. But we are all human and sometimes we are all in a hurry. Especially the manicurist, for whom you need to make an appointment two months in advance. In general, I had design options in my mind and was not thinking about worldly troubles. For anyone worried, the manicure turned out great, exactly what I wanted. And then it’s time to pay, the phone turns off, there is no wallet, and I stand up and mentally prepare for the fact that the friendly manager will ask me to sit on the chair to remove the cover, and then send me away. hell. I have been going to this salon for a long time, so they forgave me for my mistake. But, as they say, they took it with a pen.
