Low Ranking Punk Tries To Strong-Arm Ship Engineers, Fails Miserably


This story centers on an entitled generally unpleasant low ranking punk who thought he'd go ahead and pitch a fit about the showers not having enough hot water for his daily unwinding session. Little did this guy know though that he was in for the ego check of a lifetime. Just sitting back and picturing how this scene unfolded is enough to put a smile on your face. Fair to say that we don't think this guy was making any more lousy requests about things that he never should've been complaining about in the first place.

Blue - r/talesfromtechsupport u/Saesama · 4y · Salad Dressing Cannoneer 4 Buddy, you picked the wrong people to try and strong-arm. Long r/ALL Greetings, all. This one is from way back when, about six years ago now, when I was in an entirely different career and halfway around the world. No salad dressing this time, and I'm sure you're all disappointed. +

Text - On a certain class of military warship, there is a place. The bridge may be in control of where the ship goes, but Damage Control Central is in charge of how fast it is getting there and whether or not it arrives in one piece. It's run by a high-ranking officer from Reactor Department (EW) and his two cronies, one that monitors the ship's water usage and one that monitors the ship's electrical usage (hi) These three people can bring 97K+ tons of steel and sadness to a halt. Behind them ar

Text - Eng: DCC, Eng speaking. Eng: The heater doesn't work? Eng: Oh, yeah, that's normal. Eng: No, we can't turn it up. Eng: What? No, we can't replace it, we're in the middle of the Persian Gulf, where are we going to get another one? Eng: Look, it works fine. Take shorter showers. Eng: Your division can put in a request for a bigger one when we get back to home port, but you're not getting one now. Eng: Yeah, no, l'm not ordering one. Replacing those things is beyond the scope of what we're a

Text - Eng: Game faces on, this one is gonna be good. Sir, I am sorry in advance. EW: You kidding? This shit is what makes watch worth-while. We sit back and put on our best 'I hate everything' faces and wait. Not fifteen minutes later, the door thuds open. In walks (with permission) the hero of this little story, a very low- ranking punk (LRP) who think's he's hot shit because he does maintenance on air planes instead of steam pipes. With him is his immediate supervisor (LPO) a gentleman of my

Text - This path will, briefly, place him between EW and a panel that, by the order of people with a rank I could never hope to achieve in my life, the EW is not allowed to be obscured from. They HAVE to be able to see it, at all times. I wait until the merry little band is almost in front of the EW before I speak up. Me: Sir, please go around, the EW needs to be able to see that panel. Divo: I will walk where I damn well- He stops. Because someone of approximately double his rank, four times hi

Text - LPO realizes that a Commander is sitting there and nearly poops himself. LRP is completely oblivious. They walk back around our desks, not nearly as grudgingly as they could have, and take the slightly longer route to the engineering folk. Who are having the time of their lives, because this shit circus is well underway and they haven't had to even do anything yet. Eng spins around, her hands on the arms of her chair, a very pleasant, blank smile on her face. Divo: Are you the one that wo

Text - LPO nearly cringes out of his skin. Because, no, obviously what happened is that LRP went and bitched at LPO that 'those assholes in engineering said they won't fix the broken showers' and LPO immediately went to his office to find some back-up and grabbed Divo. By the way we're all grinning at him, LPO knows he is in for the ass-reaming of his life. Divo, however, looks to LRP for an explanation. The little nematode puffs up, very pleased to have the floor, and an audience to boot. At le
