#2: The Experience of Sleeping in Coffin Racks
Reddit user Slowpotamus recounts a surreal moment aboard a submarine, waking up in what’s known as a “coffin rack.” Surrounded by solid surfaces and enveloped in pitch black, they momentarily panicked, convinced they’d been buried alive.
The disorientation passed, but the experience stuck—a bizarre mix of claustrophobia and comedy. It served as a strange, funny reminder of their sleeping quarters’ cramped and coffin-like nature. While fellow sailors might nod in understanding, outsiders can only imagine the eerie humor of mistaking your bunk for a grave.
