thought of a new trick to add to my easygoing asshole bag - Altruist - 07-02-2026
while walking to the store (giggle.)
when some colleague of mine approaches me with "respected mr -surname-, blablabla" I'll interrupt them and say "there is no need for that, colleague. you can call me -my first name-". then, when they lighten up and start with "ok, -my first name-, blablabla", i'll interrupt them again and just say "i was joking"

That's crazy
Wouldn't you instantly lose respect for someone sucking up to you like that. If someone called me Mr. Cohen I would think they were fucking with me, even if I was a hotshot lawyer

it's not always sucking up, just the socially default way of addressing people who are above you in the social hierarchy
