This poor bugger uploaded his STD results as his cover letter when applying for a job

And you thought you were having a bad day.

If you've ever handed in an assignment only to realise you're a full 24 hours past the due date, or sent in a CV detailing your great 'attnntion to detail' - prepare to feel a lot better about yourself. 

A TikToker named Jacqui deserves some kind of 'Royal F**k Up Award' for accidentally attaching a PDF of his sexual health test results when applying for his dream job. 

Jaqui shared his shocker of a yarn using the 'I wish I had a time machine' audio that's gone viral on TikTok, captioning the clip: "That time I was applying for my DREAM job at my DREAM company but accidentally submitted a PDF of my STD results as my cover letter." 

Grim stuff. 

Thankfully, old mate's results were all negative, but that likely did little to diminish the deep, hearty cringe that would have ensued once he realised his mistake. 

"I have ADHD so I tend to multitask a lot, so that’s probably where everything just went wrong," Jacqui explained in a follow-up post. 

"I never heard back from the company, I’m probably blacklisted somewhere. Probably there’s an HR note being like 'do not interact'." 

On a brighter note, it's a good reminder to get yourself checked on the reg, but probably best to just share the results with the relevant parties.

Jacqui said he wanted to tell his story to destigmatise STD testing, but also to try to help alleviate the worries that many of us have when going for an important new gig. 

"I figured this is a good story so people feel less anxious over their own mistakes," he said.
