What's the silliest way you've ruined a credit/debit card?

Had a replacement card in the post to replace an expired Barclaycard, told MrsSam to cut up her old card.
She cut up the new one.

Washing machine then tumble dryer (2017??). Ceases to be recognised in ATMs and warps slightly too.

I did that too. :-( and I did not blame my poor wife! ;-)

Actually she did muck up one new card by signing across the magnetic strip. It was a sliver coloured one, not the conventional dark brown/black strip.

Silliest way, does that include signing a few cards with some available credit over to SC Dmp....✨

I once visited an establishment, not really knowing it's purpose. To my horror there were young ladies removing their attire to this strange booming music. One of them, completely devoid of clothing, came over and presented her rear end. I thought she was looking for payment. I took out my credit card and swiped it down the middle. How wrong I was and ended up being unceremoniously removed by this rather large gentleman.

Tut tut, you were obviously meant to stick to contactless....

I know, the replacement was contactless. That would have avoided all the unpleasantness!

Not specifically ref. credit/debit cards - but over the years we've accumulated various same size bits of plastic from various sources, such as Nectar cards or Tesco clubcards - these are ideal for putting in the electrical supply activation slot in hotel rooms when not in the accommodation........keeps the air conditioning on !!!

Sometimes the maid will remove it, so I wait until the room has been serviced and put it back.

Oh dear. It would appear some snowflake has had my light hearted post removed.

It would be nice to know why some fragile soul was offended by it?

I had a habit for a while to carry a debit card in my trouser/jean back pocket, just the card as my wallet was so bulky. I went to Eindhoven for a holiday and put it inside the ATM, inserted it, took money I needed out then as ATM was spitting card back out, it got stuck in the machine and swallowed it. The fact that I had it in my back pocket managed to slightly warp in that it wasnt 100% flat. Luckily I had a spare card, thank God, but never did put cards in my pocket. lesson learned.
