I really hope I am unique in experiencing this but I have to put up with the most bizarre people humanity has to offer on a daily basis! I am final year PhD student and enjoy my project but to cope with crazy irrational post-docs and PI's that throw temper tantrums if they dont get their own way, come out with the most inappropriate comments or criticisms, become psychotic if you encroach on their lab equipment or just plain lie to get what they want!! Perhaps its just me eh! My supervisor thinks its a "character building" experience. They only experience I will take from it is that scientists are a bunch of weirdoes with personality disorders! Any advice on getting through this?
