if my coworker is a Ph.D. and refers to himself

[hisno1girl]

as Dr. Jones, I should call him Dr. Jones until he invites me to use his first name, right?

All other coworkers use first names only. The priest even said, "Oh, you don't have to call me Father Dan! You can call me just Dan."

I laughed and said, "Uh, no. I can't."

[annyong]

You should call him Dr. Douche.

Is his first name Indiana?

[LLL]

ask him?

[Jalapeñomel]

Does he introduce himself as Dr.Jones? That´s odd.

[iamgrace]

I'm gonna go with yes, but he sounds like a bit of an ass.

[hisno1girl]

Whenever he calls me he says, "hi Veronica, this is Dr. Jones........."

He doesn't act like an ass.

He just seems much more formal than everyone else. The first time he met me he called me "Mrs. LName" and I told him to please call me Veronica. I thought he might say the same since I called him Dr. Jones but he did not.

[LLL]

In that case I'd call him Dr. Jones. The douche would be silent

That was my first thought.

I would have a hard time not saying "Hey lady, you call him Dr. Jones!" if anyone called him by his first name. 

[Deleted]

i would avoid the issue entirely by staying as far away from him as humanly possible. ew.

[ering1115]

Is he a college professor? If not, strange. I have only dealt with PhDs who insisted on the Dr in academic settings.

I do giggle when people call me Dr. E-ring though. I have been known to throw the Dr. if someone is being an ass about their status or calls me Ms or Mrs with a hint of snark. Neither of which I think you are doing in this situation.

[tdk2]

lol @ silent douche.


On a side note, dh has one of our vendors labeled in his phone as FirstName Douche LastName. It's funny when he tells Siri to call FirstName and she repeats "Calling FirstName Douche LastName mobile."


We laugh a ton. I hope he never accidentally does it in front of the guy.

The guy IS a douche, incidentally.
