Nuke Stealer

So I was playing a Ground War game of Domination on Sub Base with some friends in my party. Me and a friend had the same killstreaks; harrier, chopper gunner, and nuke. While in the chopper gunner, he gets the nuke but can't use it yet. After he says this but before he leaves the chopper, I kill my 24th enemy (had hardline equiped) and without saying a word, activated the nuke. He just flipped a shit and was really pissed off. The next day everybody talks about how I'm a "nuke stealer." Everybody thinks it's hilarious (except the guy that had the nuke before me, of course). How's that for my first nuke ever?
