Irrational distrust

Anyone who introduces him or herself using title and surname.
I wouldnt say that was an irrational distrust; when men do this it always comes across as a superiority thing, they tend to emphasise the Mr., I just find it kind of arrogant but also insecure, however older men of a certain generation who do it don't wind me up as that is how they were brought up and invariably they will address me the same way when they know my full name. Women varery rarely address themselves using their title and surname.

People from the north are fine. People with flash cars are fine. Experience says however that as soon as a Northerner buys a flash car some st is going to hit some fan somewhere.

If I'm asked for my name I will either just give my surname or my first name and surname, depending on the setting. If they choose to call me Mr after that point then that's up to them.
