I can honestly say that I have authority issues. Being a physicist and very intelligent on an academic level, I often find that I work for people that aren't on the same plane as me and I get irritated and may occasionally get short with them if they try to task me with something insignificant. However I will usually apologize afterward because I always realize that they are in that position because they have skills that I will never have. Like people skills and the ability to communicate with lay people.
