I’m currently on vacation in a sunny beachy place, so I was walking on the beach for a while with my feet in the ocean. Felt really nice. I said bye to the friend I was with because I was going back to our beach chairs to collect my stuff and head back to the hotel room.
I grabbed my things in my beach bag which included a book, sunglasses, my room key, a bottle of water and my phone. I then put on my sandals (which were incredibly uncomfortable to wear with sticky sandy feet) and walked towards the foot washing station nearby.
The foot washing station is obviously for getting sand off feet, which I was planning to do. I get there and realize there are quite a few buttons, so I pressed the one nearest to the ground, thinking it would soak my feet.
Well, a second later and my entire body was soaked including my book, phone, room key and sunglasses. I pressed the button for the shower head, not the foot wash. And tons of people saw this, by the way. Lots of laughter and chuckles.
Of course this was the one time I decided to wear clothes instead of a bathing suit so those got soaked, and now my room key is broken and the book (which was newly bought) is soaked too. Despite all this I can’t help but laugh.
I had to trudge up to the hotel lobby soaking wet to ask for a new room key which was quite a far walk to take while drenched.
Maybe not the extreme fuck up people hope for on this subreddit, but a silly one.
TLDR; pressed a button that soaked my entire body instead of just my feet and soaked all my belongings

Nah you are good ig. This is honestly a top-tier harmless TIFU. You were just trying to rinse your feet, and the universe said, “Nah, full rinse cycle.” The image of you getting surprise-blasted while fully dressed, clutching a beach bag of now-soaked belongings, is comedy gold (in the kindest way possible). Bonus points for the public audience and soaked trudge to the lobby. Glad you’re laughing too—those are the vacation moments you never forget.
What kind of hotel room keys are damaged by water?
I mean, you thought you were washing your feet and then the whole thing turned into a full-body sprinkler shower… sounds like the kind of thing that would happen when you’re on vacation and not paying full attention, but still, that’s gotta be one of the weirdest things to happen at a beach
