"And how long will that take?"
"I don't know. I'm too busy to do it. Have you booked the resources you need?"
"But I don't need them. You're the one saying this has to be done, not me. And why didn't you say this had to be done when I showed you the implementation plan last week?"

"But the only people with root access who could have changed anything is you sysadmins!"
"Well, you might have asked us to change a kernel parameter!"
"But you would surely not do anything on a production server without an authorised change control."
"We might have been doing you a favour."
"I didn't ask you to do anything!"
"We don't know that."
