Summary

r/Talesfromtechsupport In today's episode, a low-ranking naval officer goes on an ego trip and decides that he deserves extra long hot showers. He goes on a rampage, stomping down to the ship's IT department where he starts screaming at the IT people to create more hot water. What he doesn't realize is that he's going on his little rampage in front of one of the highest ranking officers on the entire ship, so things do NOT go the way he expected to.

1:10.2	Our next Reddit post is from Arity. So early Tuesday morning, I'm sitting with a few workmates
