Deaf Girl Mutes Aunt Karen, Karen Complains


It would be quite stellar to have a mute button handy every time someone toxic starting talking. In this case, this girl asks folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for turning off her hearing aids every time her nasty aunt starts talking. Based off the context she provided, it sounds like this decision to mute the aunt was well deserved. Plus, the aunt never bothered to learn sign language like the rest of the family!

Tumblr User Thinks Honey's Made From Bees


This is one of those wild Tumblr interactions that we sorely hope is nothing more than a devilish troll on the part of the one profoundly clueless Tumblr user. The dude suggests that honey comes from bees that have been squashed up in some kind of grinder device. Seriously, where do people read some of this stuff? 

Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about trade school and the point of tests.

Text - kasaron Follow I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to m

Pettiest Things Women Did After Breakups


Never underestimate the petty lengths that a bitter and freshly heartbroken human being might go to after a breakup. In the heat of the moment many folks can become overwhelmed by the desire to enact some kind of revenge that makes their ex suffer. Some of these situations seem like they were entirely deserved, based off of what we heard. Some people can be absolutely awful.

I also took all his toilet paper & hand soap because even though he was the 25 year old man with a job & I was a 19 year old college student he apparently couldn't buy his own shit & I had to buy it for him.

Naive Owners Fire Man With The Patents, Man Sells Design To Competitors


Those young business owners often think that they know everything. Well, this guy certainly humbled a couple naive business owners in the long run. On top of that, this guy's decision to introduce a design that would effectively ward off locker thieves was brilliant. There certainly was a period of time when so many of those lockers were way too easy for people to break into.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/kibufox • 9h Don't fire the guy who holds the patents. This is not my story. I was present for it, sure, but I did not see all of it personally. Rather, this is my father's story. So, some context. My father had a degree in mechanical engineering. Either a masters, or doctorate. It had taken him years to get, and he was very proud of that. Thanks to his training, he had found his way working for many well known companies; working primarily with the procedures used to

Text - Over time, he'd privately began working on an idea that would revolutionize how school and gym worked. See, my father realized that there was a problem with those type of metal lockers. Namely, it was very easy for a person to break into them. What's more, as the lockers were designed, there were multiple moving exposed moving parts, which meant that if a student put too many books in one, or really anything got against the door, the locker could be jammed shut, making it near on impossib

Text - Now, at this point, my father was the Vice President of manufacturing, and apparently there wasn't a clause in his contract that said that if he designed anything while working for the company; then he had to turn that over to them for profit. Dad still approached the company, offering them the design, but they weren't interested. Dad sat on the design for a while before eventually just taking out several patents on them, and then forgetting about them. About six months after his first at

At some point, they stumbled across the plans my father had designed. Now that's where things turned curious. They really wanted to start producing this new design, but as they didn't have all the plans and processes laid out for them, they had to turn to my father for answers. Rather than asking him how to do it, or licens

Text - So, after cleaning out his office, and packing things in the trunk of his car; my father headed home and made a few phone calls. He must have gone through eight or nine different calls before he got in touch with someone who was interested in what he had to say. See, my dad was under no illusions that the company that had fired him wasn't going to just make those patented lockers on their own. He also knew that though the company itself was relatively small, the owners had money and there

Text - everything worked and noted that with this system the company could revolutionize the way lockers were both designed, and improve both safety and security. What's more, as he was the only patent holder, for the next seven years or so, that company could be the only company to produce them. The competitor jumped at the chance and bought all patents both for the design, and the process. They even paid my dad a substantial consultancy fee to go out to their manufacturing site and teach their

Text - In the seven years from when the second company bought the locker design and process patents, they pretty handily moved into markets that previously they'd been unable to. The first company soldiered on, but by the time the patent had finally expired, they were a shadow of their former selves. The "new" owners had sold the company at a loss, with the competitor buying it, only to shut that production facility down due to redundancy. Put maybe 200 people out of work, though given how they'
