Massive Deep-Sea Shark Checking Out Our Submarine and more...

So, apparently these Sixgill sharks can get up to 11-14 feet. Reports also indicate that they're generally harmless (unless they see camera flashes), like to chill out in the deep depths, and are known to hang out closer to the surface at nighttime. So basically, if you're a diver who likes to go for night dives in the Puget Sound, you might come across one of these behemoths.

World's Longest Waterslide at Escape Theme Park in Malaysia

Honestly, this insanely lengthy water slide adventure looks like it'd be very inviting for anyone looking to drift off into dreamland for a bit. The sound of the water, the fresh air, the scenery provided by nature, etc...all about it. Might want to pack a bottle of water and a snack for the journey though.

14-String Guitar Is 8 Better Than Normal Guitar

Anyone out there who can't find a bassist but also has a few extra hands could definitely benefit from this glorious musical monstrosity. And what an uncomfortably wide fretboard. Word has it that to find a fret board for a musical instrument like this they had to repurpose yo momma's surfboard.

Okay, yeah it also sounds cool.

Humorous Tumblr Post Imagines Where Books Come From

So well, today I learned that books are adorable when they're first hatched. With that being said you've got to hand it to the imaginative minds of Tumblr to take us to creative places we never saw coming...like, where on earth books actually come from? On top of that, Neil Gaiman backs the theory, so it might as well be recognized as totally legit. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this post about how relationships evolve over time.

Unrealistic Movie Details That Won't Stop Being Annoying

Sure, movies don't have the time to account for literally every plot-independent detail in a character's life. Plus, a 10-hour movie where the main character spends half their time in traffic and on the toilet wouldn't be fun to watch. Probably. But there are too many flagrant and obviously unrealistic movie moments that never get corrected. For some more movie dumbness, here's tumblr uncovering the nine types of movie posters.

Employee Outsmarts Unfair HR By Citing Guidelines

Even though it a lot of jobs feel like we're signing away our lives to be at the total mercy of a giant corporation, sometimes we actually have more power than we think. This person was getting jerked around but it turned out they had some extra rights up their sleeve. Even small affronts can motivate employees, like this worker whose wages were illegally docked so he crushed his boss's dreams.

Is there anyway you can find out which is the correct day for my interview?" but the manager on duty advised me that I was correct as they had checked the calendar in her office and she had written it down and so he, the front end supervisor, and the other manager who came in to start his shift all interviewed and hired me instead.

Even so, I came back to work there over my winter break for college (I had gone away to college instead of commuting

Font - Here is where my malicious compliance comes in: our union states that after a waiting period (I believe it was 3 months) we get "holiday pay" for working Sundays and holidays.

We also are entitled to a raise every 6 months and being away at college is not suppose to effect that since we join the union before leaving and come back on our breaks and still owe our dues during those times when are still part of the union but away at school.

He was a born problem solver and told me right away he can fix the payroll error for me and make sure that I got not only the proper wage from now on but that I would get the back for the time I should have gotten the raise but didn't. As far as the holiday pay though that had to be taken care of by Sally since she was in HR and he suggested we go see if she was free and speak with her.

6.

Font - She just spoke to the both of us in a condescending tone about how this was union policy that I had to start all over again with seniority and that I had to earn that holiday pay again by being there for 3 months. He pointed out, as did I, that I was getting this holiday before leaving for college and even over the winter break that I had worked but she just kept saying to me, "It's union policy." My manager calmly tried to negotiate with her and get her to correct and even stated that ot

Font - "Okay so you are saying that I can't get my holiday pay even though I was before I left to go back to college at the end of January, due to union policy, correct?" I asked. "Yes," she said with a long dramatic sigh that was meant to say, "Like I have been telling you." I nodded, grinned and stated, "But union policy also states that I don't have to work holidays or Sundays and that I can't be penalized for refusing to do so, correct?" My manager grinned at me like he was very proud of me

Font - "Okay well then, here is the compromise: since union policy states that I can't get the holiday pay for working Sundays and holidays, for the rest of the summer, I will not work any Sundays or holidays and per union policy, I am allowed to do this," I said with a shrug. She immediately starting laying on the charm about how I am such a "great worker" and that they "really need me to be there to help out with Sundays and holidays" but I pointed out that they had plenty of other employees w

Font - My manager commented that he and I needed to change the schedule and casually mentioned how this was going to be hard as he now had to take me off for next Sunday and Monday (as that Monday was Memorial day) and it was a Thursday but that the store would just have to make it work if they couldn't find anyone willing to come in. Once she had left for the day he called me upstairs to his office to help with the schedule since I had to work so many days each week. I walked in to find him and

I just calmly explained that I was no longer working Sundays or holidays and that Sally could explain why.

One of the first things she did was make sure I and a few other college students who had similar issues with the holiday got our holiday pay rei

Tumblr Thread: Cats Are Just Eloquent Enough To Be Melodramatic

It's long been an observation of tumblr users that cats are overdramatic food-craving sociopaths who speak like disparaged Victorian children. That's just half of it though.

Twitter Thread: Dude Accidentally Lets Raccoon Into His Hammock

Hanging out in the yard is all fun and games until you accidentally coax a raccoon into your hammock area. Arron Reynolds described the moments of panic that set in when he realized he was sitting face to face with a raccoon who seemed just as confused as he was. For another intriguing animal story, here's a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

Woman Calls Out Café Owners For Shady Practices

There's nothing that quite grinds one's gears like reading about a maniacal business manager who misplaced their moral compass and decided that they'd try to take advantage of hard working employees that don't know any better. It's some of the scummiest behavior that human beings can end up subjecting other people to, especially in the service industry. The woman in this AITA story asked folks whether or not she was in the wrong for alerting her old coworkers to why she quit the gig. People seem to be in agreement that what she did was nothing but righteous.

1.

Font - 17 AITA for telling my coworkers why I quit? Not the A-hole | (21 F) started working at a coffee shop about two months ago. I loved it when I first started, it was hard work but enjoyable and I made good tips. I liked my coworkers and the owners as well. For context, the owners are a young couple. The owner am referencing in this is the wife, let's call her V.

2.

Font - Yesterday, when I was working my shift I saw some things that make me wildly uncomfortable. To start, the "manager" that works there (i'll be calling her M) does all the duties of a manager, but is not technically one. I found out that she is being paid 9 an hour- which is less than half of what Starbucks managers make (this is a family owned shop in a wealthy part of town). It's criminal how they pay her. It's also important to note that the shop is severely understaffed. Before I quit t

3.

Font - Anyways, aside from the pay thing, yesterday while I was on shift I witnessed V yelling at M about completely mundane things. It was extremely inappropriate and degrading. The way she talked to M made it seem like she was a child- not the grown woman who keeps the shop from falling apart. It made me so uncomfortable to see the owners treating the MOST valuable worker they have with such little respect and regard for decency. I have a no tolerance policy for things like this in the workpla

4.

Font - Additionally, the owners tried to implement an illegal practice that's requires employees to pay drawer shortages. It's illegal in my state to do so unless written consent is given and only if the deduction doesn't make the worker go below minimum wage. This wasn't an issue until my drawer came up short 7 bucks Friday night. They tried to make me pay it even though everyone else also worked that day, I just had the responsibility of counting the drawer. They ended up dropping the whole th

5.

Smile - Anyways, I quit this morning. I decided it would be appropriate to tell my friend who recently got hired (but hadn't started yet) what happened, as well as the highschool age girl I worked with there. I thought it would be important for them to know about the treatment going on.

6.

Font - I'm afraid AITA because I think what I did was right, but I also might not have been my place to contact my co workers and tell them what happened. If they quit the place will go under, which I don't feel that bad about because it's the owners fault they treat staff badly, but I still do feel a little guilty. AITA for potentially causing a shop to close down and for contacting my co workers? UPDATE: Thank you for all the kind words. After I quit I felt more confident about the situation,

7.

Font - UPDATE: A lot of comments are suggesting I make the report anyways. I really want to do this. The only issue is they will obviously know it was me, and i'm afraid of retaliation of some kind. They know where I live because they had to come pick up the key to the store (the owners locked themselves out) from my apartment at one point (which weirded me out but that's another issue). I know it's unlikely that anything would happen but I am nervous nonetheless and not sure exactly what would

Twitter Thread: Ex-Olive Garden Manager's Wild Work Stories

"Not My Job" Moments Of Dubious Professionalism

Different job titles have different goals, but at their heart, every worker has the same goal: do as little work as possible without getting fired. Our universal desire to not try all that hard leads us down some strange paths, like these "not my job" moments of professional ineptitude. Who needs straight road lines anyway? People get up to some real quality moments of unprofessionalism.

Weird Tricks That Always Work For People

You've probably come across someone showing off one of these tricks, or made the discovery for yourself at some point. This life is brimming with mysteries, and unexpected developments. For instance, the fact that dead batteries bounce on a hard surface, and good batteries don't. Never know when that might come in handy. Or, maybe you were cooking up a decadent feast and want to remove the smell of onions/garlic from your hands, and now you know that rubbing a metal spoon against the aromas will get the job done.

When you have an assignment to type out like an essay to write, use the comic sans font and your ideas just flow out of you. As opposed to times new roman or any other official font, you're less worried about the 'correctness' of each sentence and you can just write without being too much in your head. Then of course before submitting have a read through and change it to the offici

Do you hate how ground beef shrinks up, floods the pan with moisture, and ends up tough, tight, gray and greasy? 1.5 teaspoon baking soda 2 Tablespoons water Mix it in a glass and drizzle it over the raw beef. Try to toss and coat and let it sit 20 minutes. Your beef will be more alkaline, brown super easily, hold onto moisture and stay plump and juicy. Brown beef not gray, with body and volume

I was able to shake it after about a month and the habit never came back.

Guy Bests Dodgy Travel Insurer To The Tune Of $9K

Everyone has their breaking point, and when some people hit theirs they decide to engineer and execute acts of professional revenge. Take the brother in this story for instance: he was fed up with a travel insurer that just wouldn't make things right on a rather staggeringly pricey trip. Well, he was certainly able to teach them a lesson.

Font - r/ProRevenge + Join u/Snittle23 · 19h Besting a Travel Insurer In 2013, my dad passed away while my brother and I were on our own independent international adventures. I was in Spain and my brother was in Canada and we needed to get back to Australia. My travel insurance was dodgy but eventually paid out after a few complaints - which is pretty standard practice. My brother tried to claim $9k. He could only get one emergency seat on a bunch of connecting flights and with that and his flig

Font - A- we would recommend you take the premium for our comprehensive cover and burn it. We don't like to pay out on for any insurable event because it upsets our shareholders. Have fun in Paris. Etc etc The insurance company got wind of this and sent him a cease and desist letter. My brother counter-offered with a contract for the company to purchase the Twitter account (and 2500 potential customers) for the very reasonable price of $9,326. They agreed. 5.7k 73 1, Share

Font - dd801363 • 14h Sadly that's why they have a Terms and conditions mention of changing the policy at any given time with or without your knowledge. Insurances can be dodgy. My father had life insurance of thankfully, a small amount, that would have been paid out on his death. Guess what the catch was when my mother went to claim it? They updated that policy that only deaths from motor vehicle accidents and murder are subject to payout. Try to contest it? They showed my mother how they have

Mushroom Hunter Hears Crazy Sound

While the noise that we hear in this video is absolutely giving off some unnerving, horrific vibes, it's equally mystifying to behold the mushroom hunter's superhuman level of chill. It looks like he's planning on returning to that same spot for another video, and we're honestly ready for it.

Misfortune Monday: Chaos is Unavoidable

We do our best to avoid accidents, but the world makes a pretty clear point that chaos is inevitable. Pipes will explode, trees will fall on cars, and glass tables will shatter unexpectedly. The world is merciless, but luckily bad things happen to just about everyone, so we can all gripe in frustration over the stupid things that happen to us.
