Sadly, we are in emergency/security fatigue mode now. Every day when you turn on the news there's some huge crisis somewhere. Crypto virus, Brexit, Greece collapsing, etc. Most just stick their heads in the sand.
Showing what these viruii do might be the only way to really show management how screwed their network is if they don't pay attention to these threats and find mitigations for them.

So I don't think this one is here either, but this guy has a failing RAID 5 which he knows is bad, but he wants to power off the server when he has blind swap capabilities to replace the drive.
Um... why buddy... why....

This jackoff wants to replace every drive in an already FAILED RAID5 array, which would be similar to replacing the heart of a transplant patient over and over again as many times as there are drives in the server.
What the hell is wrong with these people....

At so many businesses, the one arsehole who had the gumption to change a toner cartridge gets to be the de facto server admin. It's the equivalent of saying "I put some washer fluid in my car, now I'm a certified expert auto mechanic!!!"

Wait... so you're saying I'm not an automechanic? It was so hard to find that little washer reservoir.

This guy wants to install XP from a floppy drive.
It must be national ID10T Week.

How is this business employed as an MSP with a question like "what should I do when we take over this client?"
Um... I have an idea, download a crypto-virus to show the owner how bad they can be in a private lan!
That's a great thing to do....
