It was over the last Christmas break
I went back and did some temp work at the supermarket I'd left the September before to go to uni. I had no power, but one Sunday I was working the biscuits aisle and someone who had joined the week I left and some other kid from fresh foods were helping me out. They both just assumed that because they'd been told they were helping me I was in charge. I knew nothing much about biscuits myself but they were acting out on every order I told them. I was totally like, 'put that there', 'just do these quickly', 'if you don't know where something is just ask me'. It was one of my only tastes at what having a slave might feel like, and it felt good.

The other time I had power was when I was 16 doing some team-thing with a bunch of girls from other schools I didn't know and who were all younger. I was the only one who felt like getting anything done so they all just did as I said. Pimp for a day.

Being in charge of some biscuits... gosh how did you remain in control of your faculties.

The strain of being in charge of a two packets of Rich Tea and a packet of Garibaldi was what sent Hitler over the edge, I believe...

I just checked in the much-revised and respected "Biscuit Affairs of World War Two", and must correct your egregious error. Hitler had full responsibility for two packets of Rich Tea and a single packet of Hob Nobs, while Mussolini had a small catering pack of Garibaldi under his command.

A carton containing 12 packets of Plain Chocolate Digestives was later found in the residence of Emperor Hirohito, though its influence on the war in the Pacific, has never been proven. According to the master work on the subject (Whitby-Strevens: "The Jap who nicked my tucker", 1954) much is conjectured, but little is known for sure.

To be fair, being told what to do absolved them of most responsibility for their actions - they were probably pretty happy too.
