(in reply to earlier observations)
As for being a Miss Bossypants, well; everyone else who could take charge (Syr’Nj) isn’t. She’s the queen, and these are desperate moments. Paramedics also take charge in a way that would be considered rude in non-emergencies. Even my dad was cringing in recollection of his taking charge when helping some neighbours move. (“…They are the sweetest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet… I kept apologising afterwards for my rudeness, but they kept thanking me…” Coz they were gobsmacked suck-asses at organising a move, Dad.) Seriously; these folk would’ve wound up tripping on shit and breaking a leg otherwise.

Hmm. That was a rather lengthy RL example.
