The part I always enjoy is when I point out some schema defeciencies and the response is "yep, we agree. However we promised the users that we would put this project into production tomorrow, and we can't delay it." If you raise a big stink, then everybody from senior management on down comes away feeling "those uncooperative DBAs always cause a problem."
