Putting DR on your credit cards

I do not.

Douchey

Douchey even if you are an MD

I do it. But then again, my name is Doug Roberts.

On the other hand, if you’re proud of your accomplishment and want to be recognized by your professional title..who cares? It’s a title you’ve earned, take pride in it. How you act and treat people makes you a douche, not the title you keep. Whether it be Dr., GM, CFO, or PFC.

ETA: not a doctor

It does

Absolutely not douchey. My credit card reads:

IonaTiger, Esq., JD, Attorney & Counsellor at Large, BA, ESPN, LSMFT, LMNOP, HMFWIC.

I cut out a number of other "identifiers" as I did not want to appear ostentatious.

Douchey.

My card says Baron Lord Foshizzle, Commander of the Seven Seas.

Commoners think that takes up too much room, but I'm too good for account numbers.

About as douche as "esq" or PhDs that use "Dr"

Based on the original definition of the title, and its history those who have earned the PhD probably have more right to the title than physicians. The term "doctor" whether from Latin or middle English means "to teach", or "teacher/instructor" it was used to identify those awarded the PhD starting in the mid 16th century. Those educated in medicine were called "physicians", they did not adopt the term doctor until the 18th century.

So if you are dying and someone steals your wallet while you are dying, they know they should be ok not getting caught using your credit cards?
