Have you ever gone out for dinner or done grocery shopping and then faced a horrifying moment when your credit card was declined? I know that I’ve certainly had that happen but I was surprised to read that American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, recently had a similar experience.

While out for dinner with America’s Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, Simon attempted to pay for the meal but his credit card was denied for “insufficient funds.” I know they were eating at the swanky Cipriani restaurant in London but how much could they have spent? It can’t have been a large amount so it’s very surprising that Simon didn’t have enough room on his card. His dining companion simply said: “It’s the greatest moment in my life.”
This isn’t the first time Piers has been able to have a laugh at Simon’s expense. He told a story earlier this year about the time Simon had the chance to meet the Queen of England and Prince Philip. The funny part (for Piers) was that the royal couple knew him but they failed to recognize Simon.
