Woman accidentally sends Blinkit invoice instead of CV, says “I am my own worst enemy”

A woman’s job application mix-up has left social media users amused after she accidentally attached a Blinkit invoice instead of her resume. The incident came to light after the applicant, Himanshi, shared a screenshot of the email exchange on X, turning her mistake into a moment of collective humour online.

In the now-viral post, the email begins on a polite note with the recruiter writing, “Hi Himanshi,” followed by, “Thanks for your application.” However, the tone quickly shifts when the sender highlights an unusual error. “But you have attached your Blinkit invoice,” the email reads, pointing out that instead of a CV or relevant document, a grocery delivery bill had been uploaded.

Himanshi shared the screenshot with a candid caption that read, “i am my own worst enemy”, capturing the embarrassment and relatability of the situation. The post did not end there. In a follow-up, Himanshi leaned further into the humour, writing, “Blinkit job toh nahi mil payegi, free condolence ice cream dedo”.


“I am my own worst enemy” is also a line from Given Up, performed by Linkin Park’s late lead singer Chester Bennington.

In one exchange, a user asked Himanshi, “But what did you order from Blinkit though,” to which she replied, “10 bottles of coconut water”.
