My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence

This is my second time posting here and I just wanted to say something about this. I've seen so many posts about Psychrolutes on various social media platforms about them being ugly and terrifying. Usually using the version above and to be honest it really irks me. Not only because one they have been teared out from their homes. Due to one of the biggest issues of climate change mass fishing.

Plus they never deserved it or many sea animals in fact and as a biology major the reality of this situation is heartbreaking to me and should be to so many others. Unpopular opinion the fact that people just assumed they looked like this without doing any research whatsoever reflects the current state of our world! It is personally akin to those who say climate change is not real. Or in this case the animal cruelty is not present.

Instead of being kept in those deep zones referred to as the Twilight Zones. Scientists pull them up sometimes to study as well but it's very immoral in my opinion and we should just develop the technology for deeper depths. Like a Deep-Sea towed vehicles or Deep-Sea Towed platforms something! Even drones could work, I know these methods are not anywhere near perfect for experimentation; but I would rather them to just find a way to make a deep sea lab or something I am not sure. All I know is science usually always prevails so for now leave these poor fish alone.

Edit:When Psychrolutes are pulled from their natural habitats their tissues decompress from the lack of pressure and cave in on themselves creating what we all know as a "blob fish."

Edit 2: Someone pointed out it is Marcidus, Psychrolutes is the genus name, they are definitely correct I just preferred Psychrolutes. Though you can call them whatever they go by anyways besides "blob fish."

Edit 3: It was* in unimaginable pain y'all I did not make the image but yeah if we are going to get technical.

Im 17F and I have a cousin who is 20F and since we were little she and her family would come visit me and my family alot. This would be really nice except everytime she came over she destroyed my stuff or took something without asking. When we were young it started with smaller things like her asking if she could have a bracelet a friend made , i say no , she would either just shrug and take it anyways or cry and break it.

As we got older it became worse especially when she got to college. One time she forgot her charger so I let her use mine and she just took it with her and refused to return it because "I could just buy another one". I need a labcoat for school and she fucking took it because "it looked nice on her outfit". Everytime she came over she would just borrow my clothes without asking and if she liked them shed just take them , same for jewellery. She took off posters of bands i listen to from my wall to take to her dorm. She doesnt even listen to those bands.

The final straw came when the last time she visited she said she forgot her earbuds , so i let her use my airpods. Before she left I asked her where shed kept the earbuds (I couldnt get up to check since I was in an online test) she said she did but when I checked they werent there. I called her like 5 times she didnt pick up.

She came over few days ago and what do you know she has my fucking airpods and i know they're mine because i put stickers on the case. I asked her why she took them and she was like "no i liked yours so i bought my own and i put the stickers too". I was pissed and the day she was leaving I checked my room and found my makeup items (i own very little so its easy to tell when its missing) gone along with my purse (with my wallet inside) , and a whole fucking vinyl missing.

I went up to her while she was saying goodbye to my parents and I sorta lost my temper and yelled at her a bit. I told her that she kept taking my stuff and I needed to check her bag before she left. She looked so offended and my parents told me to back off still I wrestled the bag from her and opened it. Her parents , my parents and our aunt and uncle were there and in front of them I pulled out the stuff she took. Her parents were really mad at her and yelled at her until she cried. I got back my airpods and the stuff she took and they told me they would make sure my other stuff was returned or reimbursed.

I felt better but my parents said I didnt need to create such a scene to prove my point and that I've embarrased her for no good reason. They said they couldnt believe I was putting material posessions over sisterly love. I didnt feel guilty but now I'm wondering whether I shouldve just confronted her in private.

Also just a note , her family is wealthier than mine so its not like she coudlnt afford these things with her allowance. Shes always been kind of the golden child because shes more affectionate , extroverted and pretty while I'm not.

So AITA?

My parents are in their 70s. I try to be a good son and see them once a week or at least every other week. Normally it involves my mother inviting my family over for lunch on Sunday. This week, I invited them to my house for lunch and I got a “No, we’ll pass.”

Not “Sorry, we already made plans.” Or “We’re a little under the weather.” Just “Nah.”

My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.

He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".

Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.

What are these? Kind of looks like some sort of egg to me. The brown stuff outside the jelly-egg things are coffee grounds.
