TIFU by accidentally flushing my $200 earphones down the toilet

Submitted by sushiducktrash t3_z52b8o in tifu

(Obligation this was months ago) For Christmas last year I received a brand new pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds worth about $250 where I'm from, been my favorite pair of earphones since.

Fast forward to a pretty normal day at school. I don’t like using public toilets, especially school toilets but on this day I knew if I didn’t go I was going to have a massive problem. So, I go to the toilet with the earphones case in the pocket of my jumper and after finishing my business I went to flush the toilet. I leaned over to flush and while watching the water spin around, I see the case fall from my pocket straight into the toilet bowl. Because I was already flushing the toilet, there was nothing I could do but watch in slow motion as my earphones got swept away from me, never to be seen again.

Tl;dr - I dropped my earphones into the toilet as I was flushing it

Rice is a myth, it makes it worse. Galaxy Buds Pro are waterproof for a short time.

Child’s play. I accidentally sold my oak wood in Minecraft skyblock and had to wait an entire tree growth cycle to get more.
