Anyone else hate being formally greeted?
 
Ie. being called Mr/Miss/Ms/Mrs (or any other title) followed by your surname?

Call me my first name please!

Depends on the context

They tend to do that when you are in court:bawling:

Well it depends. If it's work and I am expected to address someone formally, I would insist on the courtesy being returned. Out of work... nah, first names.

Right mr smith time for me examine your prostate or right johnny time for me to examine your prostate.

i mix between formal and first name all the time at work, depending on whether the customer has a hard to pronounce first or surname. :think:

caprimint 10-01-2018 02:17 PM

"MR JACKSON IS MY FATHER, M'KAY"


I work in a school so I'm used to my "formal name".

This for me too.

First name terms with most of my doctors, nurses etc.
I do call them doctor though, out of respect.

Scott is an exception to the rule of 'daddy' being banned

Calderyon 10-01-2018 05:18 PM
I donīt mind it. In fact i think it makes you feel more important.

Never been greeted formally though. (Never been in a position like that)
