[quote=Anonymous]From a standpoint of someone who doesn't have a phd, I found that some coworkers who would introduce themselves as doctor this or that didn't really contribute much to the things that I did at work.  And in some ways just got in the way.  There were some ones that I enjoyed working with and would sometimes forget that they had a phd until seeing the degree on their wall.

We know a couple where the husband is a phd and the wife a stay at home wife.  She always insists that he gets addressed as Dr.  Don't know his specific feelings about it but think that for her it just contributes to the view that she's on the snobby side that some people already had.

One of the worst was something that I just heard recently.  Where I heard someone told them something along the lines, "No offense but I have a phd and I don't get as many benefits as you..."  If I was there when they said that, there would've been a whole bunch of things that I would've said about that comment.  But I try to be nice.

It just kind of shows the mentality of some people I guess though.[/quote]
