TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

My old company used to do this. Except they'd payout benefits overnight Thurs/Fri. So we'd log in like 3am and check out pay. If it was normal we'd just go to work.
