Miss/Mrs./Ms.

[patrick1]

I usually find out their first name ASAP.  I've discussed this in  a manners thread before and there are regional differences.  When I talk to my clients I call them by their first name and I expect the same.  Mrs./Ms. Ma'am, Mister, Sir sounds condescending sometimes.

I'm not terribly offended when someone calls me by the wrong title

me neither.  If a student calls me "Mister" I don't get upset, but I have colleagues who come unglued.  "You'll address me as Doctor or Professor!"  They're very prissy types of people.  Judgemental prudes.  Assholes, usually. But most of us are pretty easy going.  I have a very clear which type nclib would be if he were a university professor.  anyway, where's the WHOGIVESAFUKK option?!  I'm looking for it, but I'm not seeing it.  Must be something wrong with my browser.

I sporadically worked for 4 years to earn this title and you will call me Dr. goddamnit.  I've come across those types- More often than not the self-important type of Profesor. The guy with the patches on his jacket and the fake British accent.
