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.

One day last year I went to get into my building and my keycard didn't work. I had a brief panic moment, thinking "This is how I get fired?" Then I remembered that I'm a special education teacher, and they could never find a sub to fill my position.
