Guy Mortified After Accidentally Sending His STD Results Instead Of Cover Letter For Dream Job

When applying for a job, you may want to double–maybe even triple-check–any of the paperwork you're uploading for submission.

Otherwise, you might end up suffering embarrassing consequences–the likes of which TikToker Jacques Paul endured after he inadvertently sent his STD results instead of a cover letter when he applied for his ultimate dream job.


Paul shared his gaffe to his 32,000 followers on TikTok as part of a viral "Time Machine" trend in which social media users use the lyrics "I wish I had a time machine" from the eponymous song by Muni Long to express regrets in life.

You can see Paul's clip, below.

The text overlay for the clip read:

"That time I was applying for my DREAM job at my DREAM company but accidentally submitted a PDF of my STD test results as a cover letter."

Oops.

Paul said he composed a cover letter and uploaded his resume but "monumentally screwed up because I attached my STD results which I just received the same day."

"I have ADHD so I tend to multitask a lot so that's probably where everything just went wrong," he added.

"Thankfully all my tests were negative. I never heard back from the company I'm probably blacklisted somewhere, probably there's like an HR note being like 'DO NOT INTERACT.'"

Paul continued:

"I decided to share it because I wanted to destigmatize sexual testing and sexual health but also I saw that a lot of people were anxious about applying for jobs and typos on their cover letters."
"So I figured this is a good story so people feel less anxious over their own mistakes."

People noted it was the company's loss for not hiring him.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
