This post is mostly a generalization that I do, not exactly a specific situation but this post was sparked by an actual asshole "doctor". It was just a basic customer service provider abuse story: crazy person yelling at everyone who was trying their best to help.

Anyway, I always thought that referring to yourself as "doctor" was something you inform people in an appropriate setting, ex. hospital, college meeting, job interviews, etc.

However, as someone who works at a call center for a hotel, I noticed that I immediately lose all respect for people who call and say "yes I am Dr. Whatever, I need stuff" because they are ALWAYS entitled assholes, some put up a "nice person" charade a few minutes longer than others, but this appears to be the general consensus.

So, am I wrong to be against the thought that just because you spent more time and money on a title, I am automatically supposed to respect you? Is it bad that I truly don't give a fuck if you are a "doctor" or a hobo, as you won't be treated any differently unless we are in the "correct" setting?
