Is there anything more pretentious than a doctor correcting someone by saying "Doctor" after someone calls them "Mr." or "Ms."?

Unless it is a medical doctor, but even then, it's still pretty douchey.

But when someone is being a dick, it is one of the best ways to piss them off.

Pretentious here. It's a big deal in Europe, though.

You've never seen someone correct another with their title?
"Hello, Mr. Jenkins..."
"DOCTOR Jenkins"
All douchey and whatnot.

"DOCTOR Jenkins"

I haven't either. And that's a good thing, because I would probably verbally humiliate said doctor and then things would get awkward.

He wanted to be called Drew, so no, he didn't steal it from The Office.
