So, if Ubuntu wants to make me think twice before it allows me to

It's not what "Ubuntu wants", it's called keeping a multiuser
operating system secure. If you want free and clear access to
everything as a user, then either run your system in a horribly
insecure way by logging in and doing everything as root all the
time, or choose an operating system that doesn't make any
distinction between users and administrators.
sudoer having rights to do the operation in question (or the
authorisation fails) granting "free and clear access to everything" or
"run[ning] your system in a horribly insecure way by logging in... as
root"?
How are the original poster's problems and solutions *not* readable as
"I don't want to figure it out, I want to do it NOW!"?
Fine... there's a really easy solution to that dilemma... :)
