Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I was waiting to tee off on a very upscale golf course. There was an elderly gentlemen (will use Jones as his name to protect his identity ) waiting ahead of me, putting around on practice green. A starter comes to him to let him know he's next up on tee. The starter addressed him as Mr. Jones and the gentleman quickly snaps back "Dr. Jones" as if to say "that's Dr. Jones to you, young man." He was quite serious, too. Is this a case of ego or someone who can't let go his pre-retirement identity?
