Many people have bought something they didn’t mean to while being crazily drunk.
A huge bucket of chicken nuggets? A very expensive bag you have to pay for a year?
But one man from Minneapolis, Minnesota drank so much that he adopted a baby kangaroo, and he didn’t even realize it until months later.
Sharing his story on Twitter, Peyton Haag wrote: “Every week since 2 January, I was having $5 automatically deducted from my checking account.
This was also around the same time I had renewed a bunch of services I normally use that require monthly payments (Spotify, Amazon, Netflix, etc) so I really didn’t think too much of it for a while as I thought it was just some fee or tax or something.
”
After doing some research and connecting the dots, he finally figured out what was happening.
“This was until a few days ago when I noticed that it was happening weekly instead of monthly which is not normal at all for subscription services so I tried looking into it and found that it was a wildlife and environmental group.
“After A TON of digging, I found a receipt in my student email that said ‘Thank you for your donation! Your sponsorship will go towards all kinds of animals in need, including this injured joey named Poppy.’”
He added: “$5 a week has been coming out of my bank for months and I only realized I adopted a kangaroo named Poppy on New Year’s Eve while I was destroyed.”
He also realized that the place where he adopted Poppy uses most of his donations towards their website and not the kangaroo he adopted.
Even though he finally realized what he did when he was drunk, he didn’t want to abandon the idea.
But it turned out the organization he previously chose when he was drunk was not using all the donations towards the animals so he decided to sponsor two baby kangaroos via a different foundation.
“I assume I was inspired to adopt a kangaroo that night as this was also around the time of the Australian wildfires were very bad and having studied abroad in Adelaide for five months, I am very attached to the country!”
