TIFU by misunderstanding "virgin" for 10 years

I'm a non-native English speaker, having learned English in college about 10 years ago. This is also where I met my longterm girlfriend. As our relationship progressed, she let me know that she was a virgin. I didn't think much of it, I had only kissed a girl before her. In my native language, we don't really have a well known term for "someone who has never had penetrative sex", but we have a term more commonly used which is more like "never been kissed". So that is what I thought virgin was.

Fast forward 10 years: A few nights ago, my girlfriend and I had a planned poker night with some friends which just turned into playing drinking games. One of the games we were playing had a truth or dare component if you drew a certain card. The questions were almost all truths, and trending towards the raunchier side, and one of the other people ended up asking my girlfriend the last time she gave a blowjob. "Two weeks ago" was her answer. Literally next round, my girlfriend gets truth or dare again, and it is my turn to ask. She picks truth, so going with the blowjob trend, I decided to do some self-aggrandizement and have her impress our friends. I ask her "Who has the biggest dick you've ever sucked?"

Her response: "Uhhh... I guess John C."(a friend from college, who I knew she briefly dated a year before me, but I assumed it was more platonic dating from her saying she was a virgin). My jaw dropped...I know she wouldn't cheat on me, but it just didn't make sense since I knew she was a virgin. I just said "Oh I thought it would be me". To which she said "no he was way bigger but yours is the prettiest dick". The real kicker: As everyone was leaving, I overheard one of the friends there who also knew John C from college talking to my girlfriend and said "I can't believe John C. has a big dick. Never would have guessed it"...and my girlfriend responded "well it was't big it is just average I think". So TIL my girlfriend thinks I have a small penis, and presumably her friend now knows too.

After the party, I asked her about it and we hashed out my misunderstanding of "virgin". I'm not really bothered by it, but I definitely wouldn't have brought up that question in front of friends if I wasn't sure that I was going to be the answer.

​

tl;dr: Thought I was clever asking previously virgin girlfriend about her biggest dick, turns out I'm not so clever and she thinks I'm small

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
