Is it pretentious for someone with a PhD to use their title outside of their field or learning environment?



Leave the recent political events out of this. I want to know whether you think, as a general rule, whether somebody with a PhD should be referred to as doctor wherever and whenever they'd like. For my part, I think it's pretentious to use it outside of a university or in your field of study, and it seemed to have been accepted as a general rule.
