Specifically, love getting emails from colleagues with "URGENT URGENT URGENT" on them saying that you need to meet with them, then you respond (within 20 minutes of receipt) that you can't meet that day due to your back to back classes the whole fricking day (which this colleague, who happens to be the scheduler of our dept, should know) and you give them 2 different BIG HUGE SPANS OF TIME within which for them to pick ONE FRICKING TIME and instead of even responding, they barge into your office and start riffing at the top of their lungs on the aforementioned URGENT matter without even asking if you have a minute and even tho you are obviously working on something and (as they should know, again) have class in FOUR minutes – and when you say, "Roger, I am very sorry but as I said I do not have a moment to spare today and right now I am still finishing something for my class in four minutes" they huff and act like you are the one inconveniencing them.
He ended up scheduling a meeting (there were several of us he needs to meet with re our summer programs) but just schedules it willy-nilly during a time when some of us have class. Not that I mind letting my 2020s out early tomorrow but how about a little courtesy, not to mention civility? Two other people teach at that time, too, so he finally agreed he would stay "a little later" for them, i.e. until 5:30pm. I wish I had not already told my class we would be getting out a little early; I'd make sure to ARRIVE at the strike of 5:29, just out of spite.
