My bank sent me a new debit card when my last one's date expired. It was one of those contactless ones. I rang the bank and asked them to send me a 'normal' one, which they did, and I shredded the other evil thing. Apparently, the contactless ones can send a signal out to pay at a checkout for someone else's purchases. How crazy. Nowadays, I tell the cashier "I can't wave it about, I have to stick it in!" One check-out lady laughed and replied, "Said the bishop to the actress!" I giggled all day after that.
