Also wouldn't want to insult the person who tailored the very suit he'd be wearing to the occasion. Probably lined with a small tricobalt device should he decide not to show.
What's really mean is that (as far as I can remember) O'Brien is the only noncom ever shown in Star Trek; he might be the only one in Starfleet! Talk about being singled out!
Yeah even on ST: Lower Decks all the Starfleet characters were officers. If any show was going to showcase noncoms in Starfleet you'd think it'd be ST: LD. Perhaps you could count most of the mawquee crewmembers in ST: Voyage as noncoms. Except that Voy is an exceptional case

To be fair, he was basically lower-decks to the bridge officers of the D

Just, waiting around in the transporter room, hoping something will break down soon.

Miles wanted to go, but Bashir and Garak were getting married

NCOs don’t get to sit with officers.

I’ve had this discussion with friends and I think that’s right. Ranks are super weird in Starfleet.

And a bunch of the Maquis were given commissions — Belann’a and Chakotay notably.

TBF, that’s a work meeting. Noncoms aren’t getting into the officer’s mess.

He's got his own private replicator stash. And probably some poor sod in the buffer he brings out only to make freshly prepared meals.

yea that’s his transporter accident clone he’s hiding so he won’t be destroyed

O'Brien would have destroyed him, but Keiko is a freak in the sheets

To be fair, you weren’t senior bridge crew.
