If your monthly food budget is 500 EUR, which is realistic for a family of 4 in western Europe that shops with some care and only occasionally uses Deliveroo, this could be scary until you realize it was a bad joke - so scary that you immediately acted on it, causing yourself further aggravation and expense (banks in Germany often charge for replacement cards).

So yeah, it would have enraged me, as I would have immediately canceled that card, having had a credit card number stolen and abused before and having to wait for the bank to finish investigating the fraud to get my money back.
