Did you know it’s ok to steal someone’s credit card and buy a plane ticket if you have an important family gathering to attend?
That’s the argument Redditor u/AshesfallforAshton recalled in his mildly infuriating post for r/mildlyinfuriating, one recounting the Black Mirror-ian woe that came with receiving an angry message from a hacker after they canceled a flight the thief booked with their credit card.
“Person who hacked my credit card emailed me asking why I canceled his flight,” they commenced their post, which has since garnered more than 149,000 upvotes.
“My credit card was hacked,” they recalled, theorizing that the perp “did it by hacking my Gmail account” as the hacker “signed up for Priceline, with the login with Gmail button.”
Shortly after canceling the flight through Priceline’s free option – having already contacted their bank, u/AshesfallforAshton deemed the former option much faster – they received a very pointed message from the evidently irked hacker surrounding the unforeseen changes to their travel itinerary.
“Why was my Flight Cancelled?” the hacker wrote in the aforementioned email, one denoted with the subject line “Flight.”
“Could you please respond? I have a family event to attend,” they concluded the message, one that also featured “his photo and phone number,” per u/AshesfallforAshton, ones that “matched the name on the flight.”
While it’s unclear whether the alleged hacker – who is named Travis – will ultimately face any punishment for his credit-card stealing ways, one thing is certain: He definitely needs to get a new flight.

They say that the only two certainties in this life are death and taxes, but I think that list needs amending. Rich people have been very good at evading taxes for a long time, and now, 45-year-old tech millionaire Bryan Johnson is trying to evade death too. Or at least postpone it for as long as possible.

“My new endeavor, Project Blueprint, aims to measure all 70 organs of my body and then maximally reverse the quantified biological age of each,” Johnson wrote in 2021.
Part of his regimen includes regular blood and plasma transfusions from “blood boy” donors, including his 17-year-old son Talmage. Johnson claims he has the heart of a 37-year-old and the skin of a 28-year-old. They also perform the procedure with Johnson’s 70-year-old father.

Although Johnson has a team of 30 doctors to help him, there is little medical research to support Johnson’s techniques.
“We have not learned enough to suggest this is a viable human treatment for anything,” the biochemist Charles Brenner said to Bloomberg. “To me, it’s gross, evidence-free, and relatively dangerous.”
Last week we covered the unsearchable conspiracy theory to explain celebrity aging, which involves taking a chemical called adrenochrome from younger donors. That theory is also unsupported, but it would seem that Johnson is of like mind.

Rich people will do whatever they can to avoid suffering the same fates as the rest of us. But while I probably pay a higher percentage in taxes than Bryan Johnson, I’m willing to bet my blood he meets his maker around the same time the rest of us do.
