What is the most power you have ever wielded?

  1. My parents once let me pick the movie they bought for us to watch on family movie night. I picked Epic Movie and they still talk shit about me til this day anytime it comes up in conversation.

  2. I was in an Anti-Tank Platoon and got my hands on a Javelin, Never got to fire it though as the rounds cost between £10K and £20K depending on who you ask.

  3. I once could decide whether I would let a guy having a stroke on the sidewalk die or save him. I saved him. Nobody from the people around him helped until I showed up. Saved a life 👍

  4. Raising/lowering an intake gate on a hydro project. I suppose that would have been some number of MW.

  5. I worked in one company just doing physical jobs every summer. One summer they were short staffed and gave me the position of packaging and labels inspector for three months. I had the authority to make people work much longer than they wanted (working hours depending on how much work was done, they weren’t strictly implemented), to make people lose 5%-15% of their monthly salary if they lost or damaged packages or boxes, and to make people wait for hours before they could continue working just because their paperwork wasn’t properly handled. Didn’t really feel powerful but workers showed me respect I never saw before. Power is a fascinating thing.

  6. In my country, the government leases vehicles from dealers. I was a quality controller at a dealership and would often road test police & military vehicles. The respect that you get on the road is insane. Like Moses parting the red sea.
