The Department Head is interviewing someone today and she arrived late. So this guy has just been wandering, waiting for her. She showed up about fifteen minutes ago, and I told her about her appointment looking for her when I passed her coming in. I assumed the problem would resolve itself.
Cut to literally two minutes ago, where he reappears wanting to know where she is. He knocked on her door and got no response and he's expecting the post-doc or me to do...something. I suggested he knock a little louder in case she didn't hear him. This was the exchange:
Me: Maybe she's on the phone and didn't hear you. Try knocking a little louder, maybe?
Him: Oh no, I don't want to disturb her by knocking louder. Would you do it?
...what? First off, I'm in mid transfer of something--I've got tools in my hands as he's pestering us, so I hardly think I've got the off time to devote to solving your problem. Secondly, what? It's okay if we bother her, but not you? I'm not the one looking for a job, pal. If you're going to be a coward, that's your business. You either suck it up and wait or you fucking knock on her door a second time. I'm not going to try to ANNOUNCE YOU TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS or some shit. Fuck, man.
