Americans Share the Most Absurd Medical Bill They Ever Received

Healthcare is on many people’s mind these days, and the 2020 election is full of ideas on how to take our broken system and hopefully improve it.

Senator Bernie Sanders is and has been passionate about the topic for much of his career, and is championing a controversial Medicare for All plan that would see the end of private insurance offerings for good.

Regardless of what you think about Medicare for All, I’m sure we can all agree that healthcare costs are too damn high, and something has to be done.

Recently on Twitter, he asked his followers to share the most absurd medical bill they ever got in the mail, and you guys.

They delivered.

 

20. Always decline the ambulance ride.

19. Nobody should be worrying about the bill.

18. Yeah, that’s not a choice.

17. This one might win for most ridiculous.

16. I’m not sure that’s really science.

15. Heartbreaking AND absurd.

14. A whole new level of insult to injury.

13. We need equal opportunity healing.

12. I’ll bring my own Band-Aid.

11. Only the rich get to live.

10. I mean what else can you do?

9. It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating.

8. Answer: hardly anyone.

7. That’s a pretty penny for stuff you could have gotten at Walgreens.

6. You need a surgeon for that?

5. That’s a pretty high price for wielding a pair of tweezers for under 5 minutes.

4. Kidney stones are the worst and if $16k would help, I would have paid it.

3. I think they’re billing the wrong person.

2. Everyone should have a problem with this.

1. What on earth does most of that even mean?

 

I’m not here to discuss politics, but I think we can all agree that most of these are pretty darn silly.

If you were running for president, how would you solve the problem of rising healthcare costs, access to care, care for veterans, and all the rest?

There’s no easy answer, of course, but give it a go!

People Share the Things That Make Them Get Furious with Other People

I try to be positive and be kind to everyone, but man, sometimes people really get on my nerves and I can’t help but get incredibly annoyed at them.

Hey, I’m working on it, okay?

Hopefully, these AskReddit users, are as well, because they are pretty fired up about people right now.

1. Turn on your signal!

“When people slow down as soon as they cut in front onto your lane on the highway. Worst is when they do it with no blinkers.”

2. Before you accuse me…

“When people twist the truth and accuse you of things you didn’t do and people side with them.”

3. I said ‘no’!

“People who can’t take “no” for an answer and will push you to agree/accept what they say.

People who can’t accept criticism when they fuck up and affect other people’s lives.

People who can’t have a discussion where they are being told a fact and they disprove it because “back in the day…” or authority arguments should always win.

It teaches you some hardcore patience when you have to deal with people like these on the daily.”

4. I would be LIVID.

“My dog ran away 5 days ago and I’ve been posting on every website trying to find him. Someone posted him as FOUND yesterday and SOMEONE ELSE CLAIMED HIM. Had to contact the police to help me finally get him back after 5 hours of headache because the person that found him blocked me and they were only trying to cooperate after the Facebook group that originally thought he was returned to his rightful owner put them on blast for stealing my dog. People fucking suck man.”

5. Just admit it.

“When they did something obviously wrong and still openly denies it.”

6. There’s a lot of this going around.

“People who abuse their power and get away with it scot free.”

7. Clean up after yourself.

“People who say “Oh it’s their job to clean up after me” or “I’m making sure that they’re still employed” as an excuse for not cleaning up after themselves in public.

Like NO.

You don’t leave a soda spilled everywhere and then not even attempt to clean it up.

You don’t leave rolls and rolls of toilet paper all over the floor in the bathroom.

You don’t leave bags of popcorn and drinks and popcorn all over a theater floor and seats.

Take responsibility.

Clean. Up. Your. Mess.”

8. Sketchy folks everywhere.

“People that find the utmost joy in saying nasty shit behind others back.

Either that or people that plot on other peoples demise, you know like sit there and watch them make a mistake only to use it against them for their own personal gain when they could have just helped them in the first place.”

9. One of my biggest pet peeves.

“People who litter. Especially when there is a bin literally a metre away.”

10. That was supposed to be private.

“When a coworker decides to “correct” me by sending a passive aggressive email and copying the boss and the whole group instead of just saying something to me privately and in person.”

11. A huge red flag.

“People being assholes to servers/hosts at a restaurant.”

12. Put it back where it belongs.

“People who don’t return their grocery cart. Like, who do you think you are?”

13. Amen to this one.

“People who mistreat animals. I just can’t fathom the mindset that enables someone to hurt truly innocent creatures.”

14. I totally don’t understand this phenomenon.

“Youtube/Instagram/social media “influencers” who make a living off being an obnoxious piece of shit, with thousands/millions of mindless drones rooting them on, buying their merch, giving them advertising power, and imitating them.

And to clarify, I’m not talking about all “influencers”, I’m specifically talking about ones who harass, annoy, and distress people (usually completely random bystanders), cause drama, and have a mindless legion of followers who support it all the way.”

15. A sad sight, indeed.

“Graffiti on historical monuments/buildings.”

Study Blames a Lack of ‘Economically-Attractive’ Men for Declining Marriage Rates

This sure doesn’t sound good. I know fewer people have been getting married, but I thought the cultural shift was due to other things.

Once again, I was wrong.

Researchers at Cornell University released a study with a pretty sobering conclusion: there aren’t as many “economically-attractive” men as there used to be for unmarried women to pick from.

Ouch.

The researchers looked at data from marriages between 2007-2013 and 2013-2017. They then looked at the financial and sociodemographic data of the potential husbands for unmarried women by creating economic profiles based on real husbands who had already married similar women. Then, the “potential husbands” were compared to real population data of men across the United States.

After they crunched the numbers, the researchers found some grim data: the “potential husbands,” aka the ones who don’t exist, had an average income 58% higher than the actual, real population of unmarried men currently on the market in the U.S. The “potential husbands” also were 19% more likely to have college degrees and 30% more likely to be employed.

In a media release, the study’s lead author Dr. Daniel T. Lichter said:

“Most American women hope to marry but current shortages of marriageable men–men with a stable job and a good income–make this increasingly difficult, especially in the current gig economy of unstable low-paying service jobs. Marriage is still based on love, but it also is fundamentally an economic transaction. Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women’s educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors.”

Man, reality can be a real bummer sometimes…

A Woman Kept Her Personal and Professional Lives Completely Separate, but Years Later Wonders If She Was Wrong

A lot of us prefer to keep a good line between work and home, if only to keep ourselves sane and to be able to focus on one without the other creeping in.

That said, it’s a bit odd to work somewhere for nine years and never reveal anything personal to the people you work with every day.

It’s also a bit weird if, when they learn you’ve been holding out on them and go cold, you feel as though you’ve lost friends.

AITA for hiding my personal life at work? from AmItheAsshole

Because if you were so intent on being extremely private, why would you believe you had friends at work?

Anyway.

Comment from discussion Shogunx82’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

This woman’s personal life was outed by a new (nosy, by her account) employee, and now she’s wondering if she was wrong, since her co-workers are miffed.

Most people fall either in the NAH (No A**holes Here) or YTA (You’re the A**hole) camps and I have to say I agree.

Comment from discussion SSU1451’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

You aren’t the asshole!

Comment from discussion Evadahling’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

But… she’s KIND of the asshole…

Comment from discussion beka13’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

It’s complicated…

Comment from discussion Yonkit’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

Her coworkers definitely aren’t in the wrong feeling slighted (aside from the snoopy one, but that’s really a different question).

Comment from discussion Marguerite67’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

Melinda! Stay in your lane!

Comment from discussion Wehavecrashed’s comment from discussion "AITA for hiding my personal life at work?".

Personally, I think it’s her business how she wants to conduct herself at work, but she can’t expect people to be friendly if she’s clearly demonstrated not wanting to be friends.

Just sayin.

A Dad Wanted to Know If He’s Wrong for Not Wanting to Share His Daughter With Her Stepdad on Her Wedding Day

What do you think about this story?

The way families look has changed for many people over the years, which means that, in the best of cases, the involved kids have more people to love and care for them as they grow up.

Mature adults are able to put the kids first, and realize that anyone willing to love a child is worth respecting (even if you like having to do it), but others struggle with this concept years after the fact.

Which is what’s happened here.

The original poster (OP) is a dad who split from the mother of his daughter two decades ago. His ex remarried to a man she’s still with, a man who was a stay-at-home dad and quickly bonded with OPs daughter – a fact her biological dad always hated.

AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M]. from AmItheAsshole

Now, she wants both of them to walk her down the aisle at her wedding but OP is refusing to the point of claiming he won’t go to the wedding at all if she insists on her stepdad being part of the process.

Comment from discussion Demoncratic666’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

It probably comes as no surprise to you (or it shouldn’t) that the majority of people on the Am I The A**hole Reddit thread that most people agree he’s the jerk, here (YTA – You’re The A**hole, in Reddit language).

Comment from discussion Zearidal’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

Maybe this dad needs to know how to dad better… like a lot better…

Comment from discussion rogertaylorkillme’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

This makes some people remember their own shitty fathers…

Comment from discussion cpumaxhi’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

It’s one after another.

Comment from discussion notthe1_88’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

In fact…I couldn’t find anyone who disagreed. Rightfully so.

Comment from discussion rishcast’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

Yeah, it’s pretty much unanimous.

Comment from discussion lost-cannuck’s comment from discussion "AITA for telling my daughter [26F] that I [55M] will not walk down the aisle with her stepdad [50M].".

I hope this man took everyone’s comments to heart, apologized to his daughter, and plans to do whatever she wants on her big day, but based on most of his replies, I doubt it.

And I hope the daughter has a wonderful day, regardless of a father who can’t grow up enough to put her first.

Furry Nails Are a Very Awkward Beauty Trend

#4 Brisa and Beyond Gel Nails ** go vote for me link is in bio!! LAST CHANCE FOR VOTING! This set I was most excited about, Brisa Gel came out in the early 2000’s and that is my era, so I had lots of thoughts for these nails. We were asked to take a crystal ball look into the future. I know there is no way to tell the future but there is a pattern in the fashion world that everything comes back around in a new invented way. So I really anted to sit back and take a look at the early 2000’s and think about what was most iconic about this time. My experience is Nsync, TLC, Missy Elliot, Furr hooded jackets, cool sunglasses, Bratz dolls, low ride jeans, random Mandarin character tattoos and who could forget the nail trends. The nail trends that stuck out to me and yes my friends were getting this in middle school, was square nails, french tips and airbrushed dolphins and playboy bunny’s, because for some reason every Nail salon had those same stencils. It was also a time when cellphones were starting to become easily accessible so of corse everyone had corded phones and landlines. I wanted to take all these inspirations and put my own modern twist on them to predict the future with this set. I wanted to include some glass i saved from a car accident i was in to use to this project to represent my future of moving on from the past. @nailsmagazine @cndworld #cnd #cndbrisagel #gelnails #noacrylic #brisagel #shellac #phonenails #phonecord #furrynails #furrnails

Apparently, Cemetery Selfies Are Quite Popular

I kind of understand how the world works: trends come and go. Some are good, some are bad, some are absolutely cringeworthy. Let’s go ahead and put this one in the last category.

Cemetery selfies are quite odd, aren’t they? It’s one thing to pay your respects to a deceased loved one, but it’s quite another to take a selfie in a cemetery trying to look FABULOUS.

It’s just plain weird…but it’s also popular. As you’re about to see.

1. She’s enjoying herself.

2. Think he brought a photographer or used a timer?

3. The #fun hashtag is interesting.
