TIFU by requesting medical records while broke

I was overly worried about something and impatient, and I wanted to see what was in my records. I ended up requesting medical records from two hospitals (and requested medical records from two other places that haven't responded yet), the online process for requesting records from both hospitals was extremely quick and easy. The website page that contains info about the process of requesting medical records mentions that there may be a charge for it, but I foolishly assumed that if a fee or charge applied to the documents that I would be informed ahead of time, before I actually received them...mind you, I have NO money (I live in job corps ffs). When I got a copy of my record request emailed to me it mentioned nothing about fees. When I originally received my records via email they again mentioned nothing about any fees or charges, however it provided a invoice # and pin for me to use to sign into a portal where I access the records. Once I got in, part of the screen said in large lettering "Payment is due within 30 days of receipt of records." Yet I have no clue how much I owe 😭

TL;DR I was a dumb-dumb and requested medical records, now I might have charges due that I likely cannot pay

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
