Nurse Stuns TikTok With Revelation After Video Of Dad 'Stealing' Diapers From Hospital Goes Viral

Nurse Stuns TikTok With Revelation After Video Of Dad 'Stealing' Diapers From Hospital Goes Viral

Babies are expensive, y'all. They have been since forever.

In recent years, that's only gotten worse with so many things in shortage—like formula and childcare. Even if there isn't a shortage, there are major delays in shipping/receiving, inflation, rising fuels costs and labor shortages impacting cost and availability ... it's a lot.


Plus the cost of the labor and delivery itself is astronomical—in some places it can cost a million or more just to have the baby, much less raise that baby into adulthood.

So when Ben Martin became a father, he decided his family was 100% getting their money's worth from the hospital—especially since they'd just had twins.

He took every diaper he could find, every wipe, every everything and posted a TikTok of himself doing it with the popular "nobody's gonna know" sound.

The video caused a bit of a fuss.

People couldn't decide if Ben was smart to take everything or shady for "stealing."

Nurse and TikTok personality, Miki Rai, decided to set the record straight after seeing the misinformation people were sharing in the comments.

So she stitched the video—a TikTok tool that allows users to video react to another video by "stitching" the original clip and reaction clip together.

Her post started with a shot of Ben stuffing things from the hospital room into a bag. It then switched to her clip, which she opened with a heavy hitter of a sentence.

"Umm, you know that's illegal, right?"

Except it's not.

Miki goes on to explain:

As a nurse, she has to throw away everything left behind in the room when patients leave.

It's a sanitation and potential contamination issue otherwise.

In the video Miki encourages people to please take everything there is to take.

Interestingly, the clip was posted two years ago and is just now gaining in popularity.

Seeing the arguments starting up again, we got an update:

She still stands by that original clip and encourages family to take as much baby care stuff as they can find in the room.

There is one update, though.

In 2022 she encourages parents to ask for extras if they need them, most of the time hospital staff will be happy to load you up and send you and your incredibly expensive bundle of joy home with a little head start.

Fellow Healthcare workers—and experienced patients—chimed in to confirm for anyone still confused.

So new parents, make sure you know your hospitals policies—for example, hospitals in the Philippines don't do this—and then take advantage of every single one you can.

They're there to help you.

Take.

Every.

Thing.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
