TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU When I learned a language to impress a girl.

Obligatory, this didn't happen today but years ago. I just didn't bother to post it.

I was in college studying computer science. I don't know much about languages or what most of them even sound like but had to take a language course so I signed up for Spanish. I had a business services class to take as well, not sure why but any way. In that class there was a Chinese girl right next to me. She barely knew any English as I overheard her only speaking in Chinese but she was gorgeous. I didn't know what to even say cause I don't know the language. She had a friend who was translating the class for her. I said "hey" but the translator said she doesn't speak English. Before I said anything back, the professor interrupted and started class. I thought, let me learn that language and impress her. I overheard her friend talking to someone else saying "ohhh nice, I speak Chinese too and multiple languages also!"
So I was still in the "grace period" I guess you can say where you can drop a class. So I dropped Spanish and took Chinese. I took the class and it was tough, not an easy language to learn. I had to work hard at it but I knew it was going to be worth in the end.

I wanted to wait till I was fluent in it and that I can hold small conversation before talking to her. She rarely spoke at all except to her friend. I waited till the last day of the semester to say something to her. Ask her out etc. etc.

Last day of the semester come up and I'm ready to talk to her. I tell her that she's pretty and I learned Chinese, so I can talk to you. It wasn't flawless but I managed. Her translator spoke and MUTHA FUCKAH, you wanna know what she said??

"That's really sweet that you learned Chinese for her but sorry she doesn't speak Chinese, she speaks Japanese. I'm the one who speaks Chinese."

MY DUMB ASS thought the whole time she was speaking Chinese. FML. The girl did give me a hug though thinking it was sweet but yea no. I didn't see her again after that as I think she switched colleges.

TL;DR: Learned Chinese to impress a girl to then realize she was speaking Japanese the whole time.

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU while being spicy with my Gf

I 26M have a gf 22f. We enjoy sex with each other but wanted to spice it up as she wanted to try something new and I was all for it. She had me order cuffs, a blindfold, and a vibrating plug which I thought would be fun to try. I let her know when they arrived and a few days after they arrived she came over and we got ready. She had me out the cuffs on her and blind fold first before I did anything else, followed by getting the plug ready. I put what I thought was a good amount of lube on it as one does. Well sadly when I slowly put the plug in, it immediately went all the way in as off it was just sucked in followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHGHHHHH” which my dumbass at first thought “Oh she must really like it!” Until i realized it was from pain. I started panicking for a second then realized she was in pain, blind folded, and handcuffed. When I asked if she wanted me to take them off she said no and just sat there for about another 5 minutes. It didn’t completely ruin our spicey t...

TIFU by not getting visual confirmation on the lube he was using

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
