What uncivil behavior have you seen from other lawyers?

This week we noted the disbarment of a lawyer who, according to the Indiana Supreme Court, recorded and mocked his clients in front of staff and state disciplinary authorities. He also at times lied to his clients and opposing counsel about his whereabouts. (Trust account violations were also cited.)
So we’d like to ask you: What uncivil behavior have you seen from other lawyers? Do you find uncivil behavior among your colleagues to be pervasive, or is it something you rarely see in your practice or jurisdiction? Do you have ideas about how to increase civility in the profession?
