Having your credit card declined at H&M — the hot spot for $10 pants — is a low many of us have experienced.

Most of us immediately bury the transaction deep in the back of our minds to live among memories of the time we peed our pants on our best friend's trampoline or accidentally called our boyfriends “dad” during a fight.

Not Adele.

Adele comes clean about her financial woes. In all fairness, Forbes ranks her among the top nine highest-paid celebrities in the world, so her financial woes are few.

Based on her recent experience in a California H&M, even Adele and her multi-millions have heard the ever-awkward, “Oh, it says it's declined. Do you have another card you want to use?”

The 28-year-old shared her story with a packed house at her July 31 San Jose tour stop, People reports.

She told the crowd,

I went to H&M and my card got declined. Oh my days, pretty embarrassing. Nobody knew it was me, but I was mortified.

Firstly, LOVE the insinuation Adele wears an elaborate disguise to shop at fast-fashion retailers. Secondly, does anyone else now feel closer to her?

In a video shared on Twitter by a concert goer, Adele praises Target (#AMEN), Bed Bath & Beyond (#AMEN) and West Elm (HONESTLY, NEVER BEEN, BUT PROB #AMEN).
