ETA: she’s a professor demanding it outside of education setting? Lolz.
If she’s present in regards to her specialist being of importance to whatever explicit zoning issue was being discussed, I’d say use of the title may be warranted.
Seriously. The things you all bitch about. You don’t have to respect the title, but at least demonstrate a modicum of decorum if someone wants a title they earned to be used in an official meeting capacity.
I still think it’s dumb, Jesus frick. It’s a one word substitution Ms. nut up, bitch.

I work with a girl that has a PhD that is somewhat irrelevant to the actual job we perform. One particular manager likes to introduce her as Dr _____. I think it genuinely embarrasses her and I respect the hell out of her for being modest about it.

Because the original controversy over the term “Doctor” was phony upstart medical people claiming a title that was reserved for those who completed advanced studies in philosophy or divinity.
How long ago was this?

Women in particular are very touchy if you do not acknowledge their PHD.

I mean, is she isles indeed have a doctorate then she should be addressed as such.
Unless it's an academic setting, or she is there to discuss or present something pertaining to her area of expertise, then no she shouldn't be addressed as such.
eta: these like this who constantly want to be called Dr generally are the ones who haven't really accomplished much (e.g. good research record).

I spent the past 20 years or so in the field of education. It is crazy how many "educators" got a Ed.D from some cracker jack box of an online university. Hell, we had one principal that got her Ed.D from ULL and demanded that her staff address her as Doctor. Good thing I didn't work for her because I would have probably been fired when I told her that I needed her to check a pimple on my arse to make sure it's not infected. LOL

This is how I would have responded

So this volunteer was actively being a dick for no reason? And he was working as a public official who is public-facing? Not many customer service employees can just be dicks to the customers for no reason with no repercussions.
What's the problem here?

I have a doctorate and I think it would be asinine for someone to refer to me as “Dr”. My cutoff is medical school. If you went to medical school, you’re certainly a doctor. If you didn’t, you shouldn’t expect to be referred to as “Dr”. Psychiatrist, neurologist, endocrinologists, all doctors. Chiropractors, podiatrists, etc, not doctors.

Like someone else said, he’d probably already had enough shite for him to be “fired” from a volunteer position. This pretentious bitch was likely just the final straw.

Stupid take.

I’d have responded to her request by making it conditional that she always respond to me by that title.

Both parties to that exchange are retards in their own way. She’s a self-important bitch and he was being childish snd petty for not just calling her doctor so they could move one. He could have put air quotes around it and made his point while simultaneously appeasing her insecurities.
