To ask my pharmacist to use my actual title on my medicine

I cannot imagine becoming so worked up over someone using the wrong title for me.
The attitude towards your prescription is a bit of an issue because they are not you or the Dr who prescribed it and so should provide without their negative opinions. Have an issue with that (maybe) but the title.... My mind is boggling. Just mention that it's wrong and can we kindly get it updated so it's correct? No need for a song and dance 🤗

And yet no one who said OP is being unreasonable has given their full opinion - stated it's pretentious or not the place to correct a title etc but not said said why

As a fellow Ms I'd suggest you get a grip. It's a simple error, not a deliberate insult. Do you have any idea the amount of pressure pharmacy staff work under?

It had moved on by the time you posted...

ok

It sort of is - the premise of this section of the forum is whether the OP is being unreasonable and literally invites others' opinions!

still peanuts dispensing fees.
Patient pays for the price of drug and a tiny fee to dispense it for a private prescription. not really a money maker. Community pharmacists are making a huge loss on nhs prescriptions (which make up 99.9% of work) with all the drugs that are in short supply and paying above what the prescription pricing authority pay them back for it - the tarrif is based on the cheapest brand of drugs available and if you can't get hold of it then the pharmacy pays for the cost difference. Why do you think a lot of them are closing down?

You are responding to a two day old post saying “the debate has moved on”?

Ok.

The debate has moved on.

It's not. That poster was just being hostile.

Is it a weight loss drug like Montjaro?
I’m interested to know how much it costs. Is it £50 per month or for longer?

But it's not relevant whether you think it's a fuss about nothing. You're not the person it's happening to, and the person it is happening to is annoyed by it.

Why is “Ms” pretentious?

But the debate is not about the accuracy of the medicine so point 2 does not apply.

And point 1 - it’s just a title is the argument. So why is “Miss” not a big deal but “Mr” is if all other details are correct?

I agreed with a poster that said it was pretentious!

I replied to a poster that started the “hun” narrative!

I don’t need to come clean about the “Mrs” narrative, it doesn’t bother me!

Now please go join your 22% bullies and leave me to be happy in my own decisions?

Is that ok?

I remember being on a train once, travelling to my home town. There was a group of people next to me talking about a teacher from the local primary school, who had just retired after 30 years. I knew it was her because she had an incredibly unusual surname.

Anyway, this oaf of a man, who was clearly no catch himself, said, "I always thought it was a shame that Miss Banana never married. She deserved to be a Mrs, not a Miss. And that old cow Mrs Apple, she should have been a Miss, not a Mrs."

If I'd been quicker off the mark, I'd have called him out on it and said something like, "Don't feel bad for her, at least she didn't marry a wanker like you." But in the moment I was just too gobsmacked.

I wonder whether he also speculates about the marital status of Ms Blueberry and says she's probably a lesbian who doesn't shave her armpits.

I'm loving the illogical argument that Ms is pretentious. To make sense of that , then so are all the others.

@MissScarletInTheBallroom You're very wrong in your sweeping judgement as far as I'm concerned, and most of my friends. I became a Mrs when I got married and it had nothing to do with it being 'a badge of pride'. I totally accept that a proportion of women choose not to change their name on marriage and fortunately we live in a country where people have the freedom of choice. I have no views whatsoever on the right or wrongs of using the title Ms, Mrs, or Miss - it is every woman's right to use whatever title she chooses and it is not for anyone to pass judgement on their choice. However, when a woman makes a choice about her title, it is then extremely rude for anyone who is aware of her choice not address her by a different title, and I feel it is just as rude as getting any other part of someone's name wrong. I have always been meticulous in checking how people I work with wish to be addressed and expect the same courtesy in return. It's nothing to do with feminism, it's just basic manners. And just because someone is a woman, it really doesn't make them a feminist.
