It was the official "employee crying corner" for me…

Tumblr Thread: The Carpathia Titanic Rescue Is A Direct Line To The Feels

Sure, there was definitely enough space on that door for DiCaprio.

But when the actual Titanic sunk, the only effective rescue attempt was staged by the Carpathia, which should have been too far away to help, but they did anyway. This Tumblr story addresses that intriguing human need to do as much as you can in a moment of crisis. It's a decent reminder that not only are we compelled to try as hard as we can to help strangers who truly need our help in an emergency, but also that we'd have a harder time living with ourselves if we knew we didn't try hard enough. Even in the recounting, it's hard not to feel a tinge of humanity restored.

If anything, it's a reminder that Kate Winslet's heart was even colder than, well, Jack's at the end there.

For another intriguingly emotional nautical tumblr tale, here's the thread on the forever on patrol submarines.

Freaky Human Body Facts To Feel Gross About

If anyone ever tells you that you're repulsive, they're completely right. Your mouth is made out of butthole, you're chock full of bacteria and acid. Your spine wasn't built to stand up straight and you're immune system doesn't know your eyes exist. You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

So don't let anyone tell you that you're not gross. You are, and it's awful. Sure, all of your parts working in concert make up a terrifically capable, interesting and unique human, but you're always gonna be made of some kind of goo. On the bright side, if anyone ever offers to rearrange your guts, let them know that in fact, they do that by themselves. It might not be perfect, but it's at least a bit of a consolation.

Anyways, here's to the inherent horror show of being. Your body may be a haunted house, but at least haunted houses are exciting.

Employee Automates Their Boss's Job, Boss Gets Fired

It's not uncommon for employees to secretly get back at their own employers by automating their own job, like this employee who automated their job and got paid to do nothing for 5 years. It's also pretty common for employees to be responsible for doing their bosses job. Combine the two and you get this person. They figured out how to do their boss's job in a fraction of the time. And since this task just happened to be the one thing keeping their boss around, it became pretty reasonable to just let 'em go.

Maybe if their boss played by the rules in the first place, they wouldn't have created a situation where their employee could so easily make their entire position redundant. Even if you're totally ineffectual in your workplace, but people still like you, you're probably gonna stick around. But since they were an active inconvenience, it's not surprising that they got the axe.

Guy Shares This Insane Note His Roommate Sent Their Landlord

A terrible roommate is something that can turn your entire world upside down. There's nothing like coming home from a long day's work only to experience the antagonizing torment of sharing your space with an insane stranger. 

This hellscape is all too real in our modern dystopian world, with more adults "doubling up" or sharing living spaces with someone other than their partner than ever before. A study done by Pew Research Center in 2018 showed this trend, and that was pre-COVID times, so you can only imagine that it has gotten much worse. 

This guy showed his coworker this letter that his insane roommate had sent their landlord. The coworker has now shared it with us so that we can all bask in its deranged brilliance. 

It's funny to view this kind of thing from a distance but living with this person would be all too close for comfort.

Wife Fed Up With Husband's "Close" Friend Carl, Internet Suspicious of Their Relationship

This wife has finally reached her wit's end with her husband's relationship with his close friend Carl. The two are inseparable, and her husband even describes Carl as his "nicotine," He just can't quit "it." It hit its breaking point when her husband invited Carl to come along with them on their planned couple's getaway. Her husband thought it would be no problem if they crammed Carl into their two-person room with only one bed. The shock of her life came when she found out her husband planned to share the bed with Carl and have her sleep on the floor. Now, who's the third wheel here? It doesn't seem like it's Carl.

Of course, the internet is naturally suspicious, and just about every single comment is alluding to the fact that Carl and her husband seem to be a little bit closer than just friends. There are multiple references to "Grace and Frankie," which, for the uninformed, is a show that's premise centers on almost precisely this scenario.

What do you think? Is she in the wrong for excusing herself from the situation? Should she excuse herself from the situation altogether and file for divorce? Let us know in the comments.
