Here is the situation: A guy I work worth wants to learn about a project I have been working on. He needs information from me. He benefits from receiving the inforamation. I'm indifferent as to whether he actually gets the information.
For about a week, every time he walks by my office he yells in: we've got to get together to talk about that thing. And I yell back: ok. Then nothing happens. He makes no effort to set up a time or a meeting. Nothing.
A couple of days ago I ran into him at the coffee machine and he said "we've really got to talk about that. I'm really busy, but if I don't come by your office by 3:00 today, come down to my office and nag me". Then he walks away. I stare after him. Excuse me? Not: do you have time today to talk to me? Not even: are you available at 3:00 to talk to me? No.. if he can't be bothered to scare up some time to talk to me by 3:00, I am supossed to nag him to give him information he needs.
Oh, hell no. I don't work for him. Who does he think he is? Because he is busy and older he thinks his time is more valuable than mine?
So I ignored him. The following day I was walking down the hall and saw him in his office in the middle of something, so I stopped by because I had time then. Passive agressive, I know..but sometimes I am so stunned by people's bad behavior I can't respond right away.
You know what he says to me?
"You're here now? I said yesterday, Missy. hahaha".
Once again I am rendered speechless. All I do is give him my "Are fucking serious with this" (tm) look and sigh. So he kicked the person who was in his office out and then we talked.
I'm sorry, but there is such a thing as manners*.
