I work at a university in administration as a manager. An academic asked me to help with an event and I decline but said that I would arrange for another staff member to hep out. He didn’t like the idea even after I explained that the other person was experienced in organising events. A few weeks later he came by to thank me as the person was extremely helpful. He then asked if I could come to the event and talk to some of the guests – make them feel welcome. I agreed as I thought it would be nice to support him. I get to the event and talk to some of the guests. Then the academic comes up to me and asks in a really loud voice if I could take the wrapping off the food.
