last-minute paging-cancel

Refers to the insanely-frustrating act of asking an employee over the PA system to come and assist with something, only to then say, "never mind" a long while afterwards, when said frazzled employee has hastily "dropped everything" and speed-walked almost all the way up to the area where he was asked to present himself.
The last-minute paging-cancel is especially infuriating/draining if the responding employee has had to go through a lot of difficult preparation before heading to his requested locale, such as cleansing his extremely-soiled hands, changing into cleaner/neater attire, setting down a huge armload of items, powering off a complicated piece of equipment, etc.

Guido Minute

When your friend says they'll show up in a minute, but ends up taking 30 minutes instead. Normally done by people named Guido.
Me: Hey, how long until you're ready?
Guido: Yeah, just give me a minute
Me: Alright, I'll see you in one Guido Minute then.
