I went to download there were plenty of people wearing slipknot masks waiting to get in, and they never got asked to remove them.

Seriously if you think like this, then either you are new to this game or you've been blinded by the people that get paid vast amounts of money to implement ITIL frameworks.
If I "fiddle" as you put it with the production environment, its because I have researched it and more often than not tested it in a lab environment, I don't want to have to waste my time writing a change control process, documentation, backout plans blah blah blah, just so people in these rolls can understand what I am doing. If you don't understand what I am saying in technical speak, then maybe you need to reconsider your job sector.
Cowboys are able to hide under the many layers of crap that ITIL and associated frameworks provide, real IT people that have been doing this stuff for years, (lets face it most of the stuff hasn't changed in the last 30 years) know what to change and when to change it, and if they make a mistake then know damn well how to put it right.
I have a performance car, when I take it into the garage I dont get the mechanic to write out a change control to do stuff to my car, I trust his experience that he knows what he is doing...
You my friend are the very reason IT is such a shitty place to work right now, been in this industry for 17 years in large corporate environments and it gets harder each year to stay here with all the crap above you mention, thats why lots of good people are leaving the industry or starting on their own.
Service Desk - same old numptys that work in 1st line support
Incident Management - provide major headaches when you are under fire
Problem Managment - see above
Configuration Management - only there for idiots working in IT that don't understand why you are making changes
Change Management - see above
Release Management - see above
As I have said before, when there is a major incident, all this bullshit goes out the window and the director comes down and says "I don't care what you have to do, get it sorted now" and all the people who have nothing jobs are then left surprised and the techs are left to do what they do best, sort problems, quickly...
"management of incidents, changes, requests etc. with something like ITIL"
All that is something you want to avoid at all costs, Hellfire do you work for a outsourcing company be any chance. Only consider implementing all of the above if you want to waste all your time having meetings, doing documentation, and generally wasting your time and not doing ACTUAL work.
If you think having Problem Management, Incident Management ringing you up every 2 minutes for updates on why the Information Stores are offline and you have no idea why and are struggling to get 500 peoples email back, then you go ahead and go down the ITIL road, big mistake...
This is just the kind of attitude that is ruining the IT industry, I have worked in corporate IT for 17 years now, and each year it is getting worse, with all this documentation, processes, change management, problem management, ITIL, blah, blah, blah, its just a cover for people that have got into IT and don't have a clue as to what is really going on.
Sorry if you need everything documentated down to step by step, screenshots every time you click next then maybe a job down at the local supermarket is more your thing...
