Exactly!  Some PMs really take the meeting thing a little too far, and then there are the times when they would schedule it starting at 7:00 or 7:30, or 12:00-1:00 or starting at 5:00.  Then get upset when I decline because my hours are 8:00-5:00 and *your* company has a policy that no meetings are scheduled at lunch time.  Or they schedule a 30 minute meeting and I recommend they book an hour because the subject matter isn't going to get covered in just 20 minutes.  There were two PMs that were literally dumber than a box of rocks.  Their default meeting request was starting at 12 because they knew everyone would be available.  Each time I would get a call from them asking me to join the meeting and every time I would tell them oh, it wasn't on my calendar since I rejected it, but I'll join as soon as I got back to my desk...  

At least that company did have a couple of decent policies in place, that all meetings end at :20 or :50 to give the attendees ten minutes to prep for their next meeting, and there will be no lunch time meetings from 12:00-1:00...
