TIFU I Bought a $300 Showerhead for the Trash Can

Today, I feel like peeling the skin off my face. Literally. That’s how much I fucked up.

So, I recently went on a trip to Japan. It was a huge deal for me because it wasn’t easy to go. While I was there, I had this rare moment of wanting to indulge in extreme luxury—something I never do. And I decided, you know what? Showers are an important part of the day. I deserve this. So, I bought a $300 showerhead. The technology was super advanced, it felt like peak luxury, and for once, I wanted to really treat myself.

Fast forward to today. I was swapping out the old showerhead, but the new one wouldn’t fit because a piece inside was broken. No big deal, I figured I’d buy a replacement part. But I kept putting it off. First, I told myself I’d go another day. Then that day came, and I couldn’t go. Eventually, after a few days, I finally went out to buy it.

Here’s where it all went to hell.

I had some random stuff I wanted to throw out, some torn pants, other junk—so I tossed them aside. At some point, I put the showerhead down with everything, thinking, “I’ll move it later.” But I didn’t. I forgot. And then, like an absolute idiot, not really looking I took everything out and threw it all away.

And that’s it. I basically flushed $300 down the toilet. Just… gone.

I don’t even know what to say. Have you ever messed up so badly that you just sit there, staring into the void, questioning everything? Because that’s where I’m at.

TL;DR: Went to Japan, splurged on a $300 high-tech showerhead as a rare luxury which is something I never do. Took my time getting a missing part to install it. Accidentally threw it away with the trash. Now questioning my life choices.
