# I agree.
The worst thing in the world (well, nearly) is people who phone you up and call themselves 'Mr This' or 'Mrs That'.

It's an honorific title. One does NOT bestow it upon oneself. It's crass and vulgar, and a signifier of ignorance.

Like most of the pictures I post, for example.

(Having said that, I wish Roger Hargreaves had lived long enough to write 'Mr This' or 'Little Miss That')

# I did succeed in bestowing a nickname upon myself
when i was in high school. I went up to random attractive girls (my confidence was so high in those days) and asked them, as if i had known them for years, if from now on they could call me "tiger"

within a month i knew all of these girls better and could walk down the hallway between class periods and hear people shout "hey tiger!" true story.

# Good tale, tiger!
I wish I'd read that when I was 14.
