Would you refer to this person as a “doctor” outside of an academic setting?

If we must all grant this title of nobility to highly indebted people with a special piece of paper and limited value to society, how then should you refer to someone with a master’s degree?
Twitter
Anyways..she’s getting roasted on Twitter.

So she would respond to “Is there a doctor on the plane?”

People with a PhD who insist on being called "Doctor" outside of professional settings are attention whores.

now that i'm old enough that some friends/people i grew up with are MDs, i even find calling MDs "doctor" silly outside of a medical setting for the most part

They only people who deserve to be called Doctor outside of a classroom are MD.
You can get a fricking PhD in exercise science or library studies, that doesn't make you special.
These are the same people who if they got their JD would use the term Esquire.

Hello, my name is Doctor Lawyer and I believe we should normalize this, too.

Everyday life in stores, restaurants, and generally out in public doesn't warrant it for professors. Nor it is the normal situation in our current social setting.

She's probably spoken to a veteran plumber as "Mr.".
Only if she refers to him as ""Plumber Jones" or others as "Banker Smith", etc. she can take that title and shove it up her self entitled arse.

I didn’t even introduce myself as “Dr” to patients. Most call me by my first name.

Do these people take the time to introduce themselves as doctor in every interaction with a stranger? I imagine this is only people with some PhD level degree in bullshite studies.
I also imagine it's just very few people who do it. I have never had anyone tell me they were a Dr. before, but surely I have came across several in life.
