    Jerk. :evil:

    Jk, but my two accidents were the raven and the blue funzo lol


    Hehehe, I also bought the raven by accident, Zoe :oops:

    I'd gladly take him from you if you didn't want him! Too bad we can't trade things in the game. Oh well.

    It's the having spent money on a character that doesn't do anything aspect - I like the raven now more then a 3rd funzo - but at the time it was before I ever bought any donuts, so it was tragic to spend so many on a bird!

    I spend over 10 ****¢{!#& donuts because I was impatient and started insanely clicking the houses to send the money and XP to my 'bank' once and for all, and accidently clicked the 2-donuts-do-it-quicker.

    I really wish EA guys put a confirmation button on the donut spending...

    My tip is, whenever scrolling through the menu, always have you finger on the top of the selections scrolling through :-)

    Wow, so now I am the not so proud owner of a BLUE FUNZO!!!??!!?!? I was browsing through the new premium products in the update when my game froze for a couple seconds, and then unfroze with a blue funzo in my town. 50 freaking donuts are you kidding me?????

    Has anyone who was written ea about similar happenings actually gotten their donuts back? I think I should write a letter about this but if there's no chance of getting my 50 donuts back I guess I shouldn't even bother...

    Sigh I would pay 50 donuts to take all the funzos and burns monster out of my Springfield...

    But seriously should I send a complaint hoping to get my donuts back, or is would it just be a waste of time? I would really like to know if anyone has gotten donuts back after writing ea on a similar happening?

    I've never heard of anyone getting a donut refund/return for an accidental click. It's no accident that there isn't a confirmation button.

    Sorry for your loss. Another Funzo. Yey! I don't think EA ever will giving refund for "player error" but if we continue to report these issues it should at least raise awareness of quite a few unhappy tappers. I know everyone expects a response from EA customer support but I think the most important job for them is to sum up the problems we are experiencing to push the development team for an update...

    Had 95 donuts saved up from Santa coins. Went to check donut prices for the few premium items I wanted to buy before I bought more donuts. Ended up clicking on Mr. Plow by mistake and spending 90 donuts. I really wish there was a confirmation button before you could spend donuts. Hell, they ask you to confirm items going into storage. I sent an email to EA customer service explaining what happened and hoping they can take back Mr. Plow and give me my 90 donuts back. I doubt anything will come from it but it's worth a shot.
    Who else has done something like this? What was the outcome?

    Well, I did buy a funzo during X-mas. Worst.Purchase.Ever.

    Honestly that bird was money well spent for you I always seem to find the bart raven and make him fly i usually spend much longer in your town trying to catch the perfect picture of the bart raven flying :P
