The Leading Steward obviously missed the cue to go upstairs and shag her when she said she was going upstairs for a lie down.With the current drift of the "HMS Queen Elizabeth's Captain sacked for using his official car at weekends" thread into dits about pompous, arrogant military wives (all ranks, all services) and on the prodding of @ordinaryforces I'd like to christen a new thread to post those sort of dits so that it doesnt get too de-railed.
Please remember, No names, no pack drill and certainly nothing actionable.
(Could the MODs please transfer over the other dits that have been posted to clean it up a bit?)
I've re-posted my dit about the Admiral's wife to start it off.
Friend of mine who was a Leading Steward in the RN tells a cracking dit about the wife of the Admiral he was once steward for.
Apparently one day she been out "shopping" with friends in central London and rocked up to the front of the Admiral's quarters in a taxi half cut, emptied half the contents of Harrods out of the back and then dismissively told him to take it in and stow it all away before tottering inside and disappearing up to her bedroom for a lie down. 4 hours later she comes down and demands to know where her shopping was to be told it was exactly where she left it as he was the Admiral's steward and not the house flunkey. Out she goes to the front steps and sure enough everything was exactly where she'd left it.
Cue screams, batshit mentality and threats of having his rate and off she goes to cause murder. An hour later my mate is called to the Admiral's study whereupon the Admiral tells him that the wife has given him mucho earache but that my mate was quite right, it wasn't his job to be a house flunkey and that it would not happen again.
For the rest of the year that he was drafted to that billet she didn't acknowledge him nor speak to him and indeed often made out as if he wasn't even in the room.

Technicians go the Foreman of Signals route to get to SSgt and above then commissioned as TOTI'm still none the wiser.
Some of the teenager children also took on their parents rank., as a bus escort (one of the many part time jobs I did during 23 years as a wife of) one of the little dears (who had been swearing at me) threatened me with "My dad's a Major and he will have your job off you. Next morning he was there with his Mutti and an audience of many - I presumed Mutti was there to continue this however, she whispered quietly, he has something to say to you and thrust a letter in to my hand - a written apology (by said tyke) which took me by surprise - she was mortified by son's behaviour - oddly enough this 'orrible tyke transformed himself and a couple of years later I met him and he had become a total gentleman and a thoroughly pleasant chap but I did come across many similar incidents as related in this thread, one Major's wife said to a soon to be officers wife, Oh you will be able to call me Christine next week and not Mrs X., (pompous or what). Yes I can relate to the Tenko wives episodes also but I refused to wear the so called uniform of Hermes, pearls etc when my husband was commissioned, and stayed happily mates with all the NCO wives as well as the officers wives. Thank heavens it means nowt in civvy street.
