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

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.

I was scanning the thread to see if someone made the Dr Love joke.
My wife (no pics) has a PhD and only goes by Dr in her professional setting. Definitely does not use it outside of work.

How about Dr Phill? I don’t think he’s really any kind of doctor.
PhD in clinical psychology
He hasn’t been licensed since 2006 though.

And that is "normalized."

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.

Second, still no.

No thanks. If it’s ok to refer to the POTUS as Mr./Mrs XYZ, it’s ok for her.

When I was growing up, we had a neighbor that was an older distinguished man and was a dean at Tulane. Everyone in the neighborhood called him Dr. Jones (not his real name). I think the reason everyone called him doctor was because he was at the pinnacle of academic hierarchy, was older, and was very distinguished in his looks and his manner. He wasn't some young slapdick.

Rank is something you wear, respect is something you earn.
Professor's, Weatherman, Dentists, Preachers and Chiropractors should never be referred to as Doctor.

Professors and dentists? Why not?
