Production Issue DBA: Anytime a developer asks you a question or for help you say you are busy with a production issue.
RTFM DBA: Any time a developer asks you a question you tell them to RTFM.
I don't share any info DBA: any time a developer asks you a question you refuse to answer since you don't want them to learn anything you know.
Everybody else sucks DBA: This is the type of DBA who constantly complains about developers, managers, etc... and says everyone else sucks.
Really funny...
