Best reason so far by a user to have admin rights on his computer

[her209]

He is a Vietnam vet that spent three years in Vietnam getting shot at.

This has something to do with giving him admin rights how exactly?

That's a pretty stupid reason to go to Vietnam. You don't win wars by getting shot, you win by shooting the other guy.

I don't get it

Guy: I need local admin rights on my PC
OP: You can't have that
Guy: You little punk, I didn't spend 3 years in Vietnam getting shot at so you could tell me I can't have admin rights on my PC!

This is likely his reason for everything.

Maybe I should tell him how many of "my people" died saving his "buddies" lives...

For the window lickers that don't get it ...

User: Why can't I install XYZ software on my computer?

OP (System Admin): You need to have admin rights to install anything on your computer - that's company policy

User: Well, give me admin rights then

OP: I'm sorry but you're not authorized to have admin rights

User: WHAT??? Son, let me tell you something - I'm Vietnam vet that spent three years in Vietnam getting shot at by Charlie rant rant rant rabble rabble rabble, therefore I'm entitled to have admin rights

I don't think he did it just to get admin right on his computer. In fact he probably didn't even know what admin rights were.

You're parents Vietnamese? If so, the potential to fuck with him is limitless...

Always be nice to the workplace wackos. That way when they start shooting the place up, they'll look at you, remember you were the one cool guy, and let you go.

Walter Sobchak: Those rich fucks! This whole fucking thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this fucking strumpet...
The Dude: I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.
Walter Sobchak: Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
The Dude: Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.

Unfortunately I can't even get admin rights on my machine... I have to call the dell help(less) desk every few days to get one of the 20 programs I use updated or a new one installed. They've screwed up the installations multiple times if I don't watch them like a hawk.

Walter Sobchak, is that you?

Edit: Damn you, mugs

Well...if he was in the Navy you could give him admiral rights.

I think the best reason by far is "It's my computer"

But i could be wrong.
