A woman filmed herself attempting to walk to her job nearly four hours away. Here’s how those who watched the ordeal on TikTok reacted.
“This Was a Bad Idea” — Woman Attempts to Walk Four Hours to Work, Gets Lost Along the Way
Many of us have at least heard of the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day, even if we don’t follow the method ourselves. Doctors and other medical professionals typically suggest their patients start walking more as a significant first step to boosting their physical and mental health, as it provides various benefits like improving one’s mood, brain function, et cetera.

One way some people have decided to get their steps in is to substitute walking for driving to places like the grocery store, a nearby park, or even to work.
Walking to work can be a great way to get your mind right for another day at the office. However, most people walk to their jobs if they’re around 15–20 minutes, maybe even 30 minutes on a nice day.

Walking four hours to work, however, is probably a bit over the top.
Unfortunately, most people haven’t met TikTok user Ham, who goes by @tootgirl69 on the platform. Ham decided to take her followers along as she walked not one, not two, but FOUR HOURS to her job. Unsurprisingly, Ham received tons of attention after sharing her journey.

Walking has always been my preferred fitness method. While I’ve broken a sweat while navigating through a trail or two, I still prefer it over 30–40 minutes on a treadmill. This is because walking provides a way to stay healthy while also enjoying nature, something most of us lack from working at home or in an office.

Ham began the video at 7:04 in the morning.

Although I enjoy a lengthy stroll to keep myself balanced, the one that our friend Ham did was a bit much for my standards. In September 2023, Ham shared her #hotgirlwalk on TikTok after she decided to walk to her place of employment.

Ham began the video with a screenshot of the walking distance between where she was and her job. The map showed that the “fastest route” would take her 3 hours and 53 minutes by foot. After asking followers not to “dox” her, Ham accepted the challenge and recorded herself walking to her job at 7:04 a.m.

Ham walked through her city and gave updates as she did so. By 7:48, she was “tired” and shared she still had “three hours” to go. By 8:20, Ham told the camera that she “made it to the Canyons, whoo!” meaning she was close to the job. Or so she thought.

Once Ham got closer to her destination, she noticed multiple “road closed” signs blocking her from walking to where she needed to go. By 8:53, Ham began getting frustrated because her map suggested she walk to places that were also “blocked off.”

Toward the end of the TikTok, Ham admitted to the audience that “I officially don’t know what to do” as she was stranded in the middle of nowhere. The poor girl cried and repeatedly said, “This was a bad idea!” Unfortunately, those who watched the video — including myself — had to agree with the unlucky employee.

Ham’s TikTok commenters suggested she try “the bus” and other means of transportation.
Underneath her TikTok, Ham received comments from other concerned TikTok users. Many asked the young woman why on Earth she chose to walk four hours to work instead of using other means of transportation. Additionally, several users believed Ham may have been stretching the truth a little regarding how long her walk was.

In a follow up video, Ham explained why she decided to walk four hours.

According to the TikToker, she usually gets a ride to work from her roommate, who was also in the update. However, when her roommate wasn’t available that day, she decided to walk because she was a “country girl” and didn’t know about public transportation.

Thankfully, there is a happy ending.

She also said she neglected to tell her roommate that she didn’t have a ride, so her roommate had no idea she walked. Thankfully, after she called her crying, the roomie booked her an Uber so she could make it to work. Ham also thanked the people with positive suggestions for her to get to work safely next time.
“Thank you to everyone who helped and explained the bus routes and all the apps that can help me,” the TikToker wrote in her video update.

Ben Fab has been absent from recent videos on the Fab Rats YouTube channel, leading some to wonder why he decided to leave the shop.
The Gist:
Ben Fab has been a fixture in Fab Rats videos for years.
The Fab Rats channel recently announced that Ben would be leaving the shop to spend more time with his family.
Fans of the Fab Rats will miss Ben, but seem to understand why he made this decision.

The anchors of the Fab Rats YouTube channel have always been Paul Fab and his wife Lizzy, but another prominent member of their team was Ben, Paul’s brother, who worked at their shop with them. The Fab Rats YouTube channel is largely dedicated to videos about difficult tow jobs and rebuilds of old cars. Ben has been a huge piece of what the channel offered in recent years.

In a video posted on Sept. 27, 2023, the Fab Rats addressed Ben’s absence from recent videos. While they didn’t go into a ton of detail, they did explain that Ben would no longer be on the Fab Rats channel because he had left the shop. Now, many want to know why Ben decided to leave the shop and the channel behind.

Why did Ben leave Fab Rats?
At the beginning of their most recent video, Paul and Lizzy explain that Ben decided to leave Fab Rats in order to spend more time with his family. They said that while they were sad to see him go, they understood his decision, and said he still might pop up on the channel occasionally. The era of Ben appearing in videos regularly is over, though. Part of the reason is that his family lives pretty far away from where the videos are filmed.

In a separate post on Instagram, the Fab Rats made a similar announcement addressing Ben’s absence.

“Change can be hard and this has been one of the harder adjustments for us all,” the statement says. “We sure are going to miss having this guy in the shop but family is important and Ben’s family needed him. Lucky for us, we have Hunter and Sean around to help with all of the awesome upcoming projects.”
“Thanks to all of our amazing viewers/friends/Fab Rats family for the love and support you have given us. We appreciate you all more than you know,” the statement concluded.
It’s unclear whether there’s any tension between Ben and the rest of Fab Rats, but publicly it seems like Ben just wanted to spend less time at the shop and more time with his family, which is a choice all of us have to balance.

The Fab Rats certainly don’t plan to slow down, though, and their statement indicates that. As the comments under the post suggest, people loved Ben and understand his decision to leave.

“You know if you stick around long enough you always see people come and go in life. It was Randall now Ben but I’m sure it will not be the last we see either of them. We will all miss seeing you Ben, I wish you all the best!” one person wrote.

Who was Michael Gambon’s wife?
Michael married his wife Anne Miller in 1962 when he was 22 years old. Anne is a mathematician, and as a result, the two were very private about their relationship. In fact, if Michael was asked about his wife in interviews, he would sometimes pretend that he didn’t have one. The two appear to have still been married at the time of Michael’s death, although their marriage had gotten more complicated in recent years.

In 2001, while filming Gosford Park, Michael brought a woman named Philippa Hart to set and introduced her as his girlfriend. The news that Michael was cheating on Anne became official in 2002, and he moved out of the home that they shared. Michael and Philippa had reportedly begun dating in 2000 while working on the Channel 4 series Longitude together. The two have been together ever since.
Did Michael Gambon have any kids?
Michael had one child with Anne named Fergus who eventually became a ceramics expert and started appearing regularly on Antiques Roadshow. After becoming estranged from Anne, Michael had two children with Philippa. Their first child together was born in 2007, and was named Tom, and their second was born in 2009 and named Will.

What was Michael Gambon’s cause of death?
The news of Michael’s death was first announced on Sept. 28 in a brief statement from his family.
“Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife, Anne, and son Fergus at his bedside, following a bout of pneumonia,” the statement explained, which suggests that pneumonia was the ultimate cause of death.
Michael first made his breakthrough as a British stage actor in the 1970s and had a long career in the theater in addition to his more high profile film and TV work. Although many Americans will only know him as the more controversial performer to play Dumbledore, his career contained much more than that single performance.
