Something like that.  Every one of the bad eggs wants to think their research is indispensable when yeah....no.  And because it is unacceptable to them to admit that they are anything other than brilliant, they can't understand why everyone else doesn't agree, why donors aren't tripping over themselves to throw money at them, and why they have to waste their precious time teaching 101 instead of focusing on their "groundbreaking" research.  Honestly, if you had to deal with egos this big every single day, you'd have days when you lost it too.  The ones like this have the social graces of a bridge troll.

The ones I love the best are the ones who love to teach, brag about and help guide their students, enjoy involving students in their research, are happy to explain what they do in plain English, don't think that everyone who isn't an expert in their field is an inferior human, and who can express disagreement or disappointment without sounding like my preschooler on a bad day.  Thankfully for me, that describes most of the ones I come into contact with.  [/quote]
