"Mr Smith, this is Doctor Jones and Dr Chen, and Doctor Boss and Mrs Boss".

I stood up out of my chair, ran to the door of my office... and my boss gave me a "shut up or die" look, so I slunk back to my chair.

I'm still furious about it, though, and it's been years.
I once refused to sign some paperwork that everyone in my institute had to sign - long story - because all the paperwork had on it "Dr. Bob X", "Dr Jim Y", "Dr. Bill Z". Mine said "Ms Posse Gal". In front of the rest of my division I informed the HR rep who came looking for my signed form that I would sign mine when it was written correctly and that there was no Ms Posse Gal, that I was Dr., just like all the boys! I do admit, they all applauded me afterwards. I wouldn't have cared if theirs had said Mr. But if theirs said Dr, mine should too!
