If your legal title was Dr, would you get annoyed if people still called you Mr/Mrs/Miss/whatever?

@Kingfish28 I might be have to have my people call your people to see about a potential intellectual property arrangement in the near future. That has 'pizzazz'! I like it!

@Kingfish28 Sounds good. *Shoots finger gun, winks, and makes obligatory clicking sound*

Absolutely! People often look for ways to deminish others. A ton of work went into achieving that goal so unless I specifically asked someone not to, it's Doctor Zeeva!

Yessss@zeeva70
No! That is so........snobby? "You will refer to me as 'councilperson' so and so." I hate it when people say stupid crap like that!

I know many Drs that insist on the title. Just like military members insist on being addressed by rank.

No. I dont see the point of titles, I'd prefer people just call me by my name.

No,i would not correct them nor would i get annoyed.
@luv2fly352 They should have formal titles for 'not so prestigious' people too! Like "Douchebag" .
"Doctor Smith. Have you met Douchebag Haraldsson.? He recently arrived here from Seattle. " or maybe something more defining like "Menialtaskperson" " Judy, could you call Menialtaskpserson Henderson in material management and acquisition, I seem to have gotten these files completely out of order."
