Me when I first get to a conference: I’m just going to take it easy, turn in early, and get some work done in my room. Two hours later when my friends start to arrive:

An example why older editions of textbooks can be more interesting to read. This is like the tenth time it’s gone off the rails 30 pages in.

When I read a paper that is essentially a commercial for an edu-celebrities product and get to the conflict of interest statement and see: "none declared".

I got a snarky email about not replying to a request to review a manuscript. I’m not on the editorial board of said journal.

Just a reminder: We’ll have our end of the semester faculty meeting on Friday, May 13 from 1:00-4:00. We have so much to talk about! Also, don’t forget grades are due on May 13 at 5:00!

Do the faculty realize that I don’t even read the grade appeals any more? I just click “approve” every single time. They spend hours brooding over giving little Trevor a D, and I spend 2 seconds making sure he gets a C.
