I absolutely HATE it when my doctor insists on calling me "Frau Beldotti". I'm not here to open a bank account, lady! I think the insistence upon using the formal "Sie" is just an easy way to keep people at arm's length and avoid having empathy for others.
It's a DU for me ...

I went to therapy once and it was totally weird talking about my mother's death and Siezing each other the whole time (I never went back).
Definitely DU. It's time.
I'm OK with either. It's nice having an easy way to be polite.
