Disclaimer: Dr. Suit is a fictional character. No real person working for the school system would ever be this insensitive to a lowly classroom teacher.
Dr. Suit comes to the teacher's cafeteria every day. He surrounds himself with a gaggle of women, some of whom hang onto his every word. Dr. Suit loves seeing himself in this position. He sees himself as an individual superior to everyone around him. This semester, Dr. Suit has a Junior Suit following him around. Last week, Dr. and Junior came to the cafeteria and low and behold there was a teacher sitting in his seat! He thought nothing of asking this teacher to move. Even when this teacher explained that the cafeteria was the only place in the crowded building to work, Dr. Suit tried to get the teacher to move, suggesting the library and moving to a different table. This teacher held firm. The table in question was occupied by the teacher first and there was no way the teacher was going to move three stacks of books and papers to accomodate Dr. Suit's lunch request. Now, I am sure Dr. Suit and Junior Suit went back to their office and wrote some diagnosis for teacher, labeling teacher as some sort of psycho, but, who cares. The Suits are really the sick ones. Teacher held the table and got the work done. Now if teacher had the same resources as Dr Suit, an office with a telephone, a desk, and a secretary, teacher would not need to work in a smelly, noisy cafeteria and people in suits could have as much space as they wanted for lunch.
The rantings of a teacher who retired from the classroom but not from education.

Dr. Suit sounds like quite the uptight arrogant non teacher; no doubt Dr. Suit is out of touch with reality, not the teacher involved, who was obviously just doing their job, unlike Dr. and Mini Suit. Maybe Dr. Suit should eat lunch in Dr. Suit's office; that would be more Suitable.
Interesting that some people are arrogant enough to feel they merit permanent spots in shared office and cafeteria spaces. There must be some psychological explanation.
I think they call it "broomstick up the ass syndrome" but I can't be sure.
So you've met people like too Dr. Suit too!
I always thought "Suits" were not allowed in the Teachers' Room????
Schoolgal- I think there's some sort of unwritten rule that they're NOT allowed- but somehow, they always manage to slither in with some sort of inane request (and always during your duty free lunch, too).
Our only teacher's room is the staff cafe or a single sex bathroom (YUCK!) Unfortunately, anybody working in the school is allowed in--even suits!
