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.
There's more money up here than you think!

I see super cars every day where I live!

Was she trying to tell you that Chipper had fallen down the well?

I'm with Eleven. It gets my back up when people call themselves Mr. Complete tts, and definitely not to be trusted. I find older people never do it, it's youngsters. Probably because no one bothered to teach them how to introduce yourself at school.

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.

Most of the English and anyone that lives between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Men that don't swear, this is heightened if they the replace swear words with their non sweary substitutes..

Oh god yes. I have a couple of examples to back it up, does this mean it's not an irrational distrust then?

People with personalised number plates. The better and more expensive the plate, the less I trust them. Two or more cars with matching plates is the ultimate crime. Avoid them like the plague.
