The best ironolol of this kind was one meeting I was double booked for was Google training

I do find it funny when people call me up about Google+
"How do you do this?"
"You. Are. Already. On. Google. It's actually less work to Google the answer than it is to call me. What are you thinking? Why do you have no ability to think for yourself? Oh look, two clicks is all it took. Two clicks. I hope you feel this has been a valid use of both of our time."

I probably infuriate people by never accepting meeting invitations.
Tip: if you use outlook/google to schedule a meeting that could be organised by wandering up to my desk and saying 'do you have a couple of minutes?' then you're a prick.

This seems like a professional approach.

Technical people usually have a touch of the iconoclast about them.
Conversely, I hate it when people just walk up and expect me to drop everything.

Oh yeah, that's shit too.
I used to have someone who used to send meeting requests entitled 'STATUS UPDATE' about 10 minutes before hometime for first thing the next morning.

All that did was ensure I was in a foul mood before I'd even got to work.

I also steadfastly deny read receipts.

Me too, the fucking pricks.
I had a call from a guy upstairs asking if we could install software to force the read receipt his reasoning "because you can turn the default one off".
