Great thread subject
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a bad prof story.
For my chemistry class I had the choice of taking a final exam or writing a 10 page paper on the topic of my choice. The procedure was to write a rough draft, hand it in, get it back with comments from the professor, meet with the professor to discuss the comments, then write the final paper. Well, everything was going well until I had to meet with the prof to discuss the comments. I made an appointment with him for 1pm that monday. At 12:58 I show up at his office, he isn't there. I check the classroom to make sure he wasn't there and then waited in his office for a while. At 1:15 I asked another professor if he had seen my prof and he said no so I left an extremely polite note on his desk with my email address asking me to email me to reschedule. At 1:45 he calls me and blames me for not keeping our meeting. Hello!! I was in your office for 15 min waiting for you and it's my fault you weren't there!? Well, we reschedule for 3:15 that day. I show up shortly before then to find a line waiting outside his door. Apparently he was running behind and his 2:45 and 3:00 appointments were still waiting to meet with him. But hey, at least he was actually in his office this time. Well at 4:00 he's still running behind and I haven't met with him yet and he comes out of his office to notify the (now long) line of students that we have reschedule because he has other commitments. I manage to get a 9:30 appointment with him Tuesday morning still seething over now having been stood up twice by him. Tuesday morning arrives and I show up at 9:30 to find out he's running late again. Finally at 9:50 he meets with me and our whole meeting consists of him asking me if I had any questions, which I didn't. The whole meeting took five minutes.
