TIFU by reading another TIFU and now all the women in my life are laughing at me

Ok, I (23m) love reading this subreddit. I read them all the time in my pass time. I was reading this particular one yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/w8jsod/tifu_by_accidentally_ripping_out_my_iud_during/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Now, some background information. I am the youngest in my family. There is a 7 year gap between my other brother, and then 2 more year to my older sister. My parents are very conservative and didn't teach me a lot about sex education. They just let the public school system teach me.

I have been in a very amazing relationship a little over a year now. She (22f) is the best thing to ever happen to me. I have also grown amazingly close to my cousin (22f) over the past 2 years. Both my girlfriend and cousin are my closest friends I have. I feel comfortable talking to them about anything at all, including women's anatomy.

Back to the story at hand, I'm talking to my cousin on the phone yesterday while I read the before mentioned TIFU post. I know that she has had experience with getting an IUD in before. So I told her about it. She then tell me how it is painful to get it put in, she can't even imagine how it would feel getting it ripped out. She then explains the process of getting it out in. Now she says "You know the cervix? It stick it through there, which is painful because of how small it is?" Now, this gets the gears turning in my head. "What do you mean it's super small?" I ask. She says "Well, it's smaller than the width of nail on my pinkey finger." que question marks coming out of my head

My entire life, for a lack of better description, I had no idea that the vagina was a big area that lead up into the uterus through the cervix. I thought that when you had sex, you were sticking your penis into the uterus through the vagina/cervix. I though that the vagina was the "Outside portion" and the cervix was connected to the vagina, like a door and a doorway.

So, my cousin told my girlfriend. My girlfriend told her mom (we are pretty serious, so probably my future mother-in-law.) My cousin also told her mom, aka my Aunt. So now, all the girls in my life are laughing so so hard at me because I had no idea how this all works

TL;DR: I didn't know that the vagina was a large opening. I thought you had sex inside the uterus. I found out by asking my really close cousin who told my girlfriend and then it spread to a bunch of girls I know.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
