Even better I was thinking of this. Sorry it's kind of random

I have a bone to pick with sports and, in particular, coaches in sports.

Having a coach on sideline is fkn pathetic. Maybe practice harder as a team so you can actually perform without this obnoxious crutch watching and yelling and flailing when I'm trying to watch a game. It'd be like watching the Tour De France and all the cyclists had training wheels on.

I get needing the coach in practice, but by the time I'm there watching you should have your sht together enough that you don't need some dork flapping his arms around.

I am bad at fried eggs, kids are much worse due to fired eggs sucking. Why would you resort to the crappy british, black toothed diner egg preparation by someone named Marge, when you could have a refined beautiful french style. Fried eggs should be renamed lazy fata eggs. Eggs in every other way are better than fried you heathen. Fried eggs mean you have no chefing skills.

Jacques Pepin omelet. Hard boiled, soft boiled, poached.

If you are gonna make this about the British and French, let's take this to Normandy and sort it out like men. Meet me behind the tapestry at 3pm and we'll scramble some eggs.

My wife doesn't approve of my commentary on why this conductor person gets so much friggin applause and the actual musicians who did all the work get barely a mention. Then they have the audacity to want everyone to call them Maestro instead of their actual name in normal world situations.

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".

One of my best buds has a PhD (the guy who gave me the name fotze) and he absolutely hates when people refer to him as Doctor, hates it. Go golfing and get paired up, introduce and say names. I will always interject after he says his name, Ya XXX is a Doctor and should be referred to as such, makes him soo mad. We call him Dr. B to piss him off.

The other guy was definitely super douchy. But the medical fields belief that they are the only 'true' doctors is such bull####. Any time my dad would be intrduced to a doctor, that went by doctor in social situaions, he would say nice to meet you I am garbage collector Don. I also hate the Dr "first name" bull####. They want still be relateable but not too much. #### you. I know you are a doctor. Either go by Tom or Dr. Smith. I don't care. But if you go by Dr. Smith you better ####ing call me Mr. Titan2.

I am tempted to get my LLb converted to a JD just so I could be a super ####ing ###### in certain situations. But really, I can't be bothered. It does kind of GMG that my law degree is just considered a bachelors degree, but going all the way to JD also seems pretty douchy.

For those following along at home, if Titan2 is able to use the word Douchy, or its derivatives, 100 times he gets a new Toyota Camry!!

The more they hate it, the more you do it. The law of the Bros. Also, called the Bro Code.

My buddy is super successful in every way. Except his legs. Little tiny chicken legs. He gets very mad when we refer to him as Chick-fil-A or similar.

#### you, buddy. That is all you gave us to work with! Ooh. Look at little Mr. Red Corvette, driving to his cabin to play in his Air Nautique. Should we call you Prince now?

Actually, that is not bad. Maybe I will work that one into the repertoire.

Oh for sure, in social situations I think first names all around makes sense.

My buddy wasn't trying to be a jerk - he felt bad about it and told me later he assumed anyone pompous enough to interject like that was a medical doctor.

I'm an engineer - we don't have a special title, because usually people can tell..

I worked as a ski instructor one year. My favourite joke was “How can you tell if someone is a Level IV ski instructor? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”

Now this I think would be intriguing to watch and finally make things interesting. Also...give the cyclists crowbars and boards with nails in them and put those little spikes on the side of the wheels.

Now that would make the Tour de France worth watching!!

He secretly loves it but knows if he asked you to call him Doctor, you'd mock him for it and never do it, so he pretends he hates it because he knows that will make you do it.

I have a friend who just went in for a vasectomy consult and the Dr noticed something irregular. He did a few checks to rule out testicular cancer and then told my friend that he had a “very tight scrotum”. Well guess who’s nickname is smooth balls now!
