Welcome to our slash true off my chest, where OP hospitalizes a minor by pushing him into

oncoming traffic. Our next reddit post is from Vegetable North. I'm a 26 year old man,

and I was coming home when I accidentally bumped shoulders with his boy, who was probably like

of his friends by the side of the road. He starts pushing me and getting in my face. I tell him to

back off or I'll move him myself, and well, I guess he didn't like that because he pushed me

again and attempted to swing at me. So I shoved him off, and I need to add that I'm very strong,

and I work out frequently. Well, I guess my push was a bit hard because he stumbled back into the

road as a car was going down the road very quickly, and you can guess what happened next.

I called 911, and the cops took me in for questioning, but since I live in student accommodation,

that I'm being sued for the boy's medical expenses, because he's apparently in the hospital

with a fractured tibia and a broken collarbone, as well as an extreme concussion and other

scrapes and cuts. All total, it came out to $66,702. I have a lawyer, and he says that I should

be mostly okay due to the camera showing the boy chose to escalate the situation.

Our next reddit post is from deleted. I'm getting a gastric bypass in two weeks.

I've had this plan for over a year when I got my insurance. It was a snap decision,

but my weight has been an issue my whole life, and my doctor has been pushing me to get the surgery

after multiple failed attempts at trying to lose the weight myself and multiple health issues

being made worse by my weight. A year ago, I made the decision during my lunch break to get health

insurance, and the payments I've been making through the health insurance company has kept me
