I loved this list. Most of them have rung true for me at some point, although once you get to a certain point in your career, you just stop caring about some things or at least it takes less time to move on with your day. Not that it makes it okay, you just stop “hating.” More like sadly acknowledging.
I do feel like the one about the colleague who emails you for lunch says less about whether said colleague is anti-social and more about the fact that the time constraints put on you at a law firm make it so you just can’t risk having a long conversation, especially if you want to have lunch and get out at a reasonable time. Plus there’s the risk of the wasted trip (or numerous wasted trips) if the person you’re asking to lunch is on the phone or in a meeting.
