My school acquired a computer lab in 1980 and I got to use a CP/M machine with 8" floppy disks. Don't have any of them any more, but I did indeed use them in my teens.

@cstross I really enjoyed explaining 8" drives in my video about War Games https://youtu.be/p-B1clodRJ4 - it was sort of amazing how many people had never worked with them or seen them.
(My personal relationahip with that movie is my dad did in fact have an Imsai 8080 with 8" drives, but they were not "IMSAI" branded drives. He was such a poser.)
