Wow indeed. Sorry to get you heated. As I said, I am relatively new and still trying figure it all out. It seems appropriate to ask the captain permission regardless. I hope if I ever ask you I don't get "Why the F are you asking me?!" in front of everyone. I also didn't know it was an issue which got anyone's blood boiling.
