Really? That's on par with the Ph.D's (inevitably in something ridiculous) who insist on being called Doctor in social situations.
My favourite was when a friend (who is a dermatologist) was getting introduced to someone. The person doing the introducing used first names for both, and this other guy corrected to "actually its Dr. 'Last name' "
My buddy perked up and started asking him Dr questions (where did you do your residency) and he visibly shrinks and says "actually I have a Ph.D in literature".
