confused

i was just wondering..

would you call your friend's boss, "boss", even though you're not working in his or her company?
would call somebody "president" or "chairman" when you are not directly affiliated nor even a member of the organization he/she currently lead?

call it OC. call it non-conformity, or even conformity in a sense. call it anything else. but hey, aren't we supposed to respect each other by referring to someone using their proper names?

so ok, everybody else calls him/her by that moniker. but haven't these people figured out that "everybody else" pertains to the actual members of the organization the he/she currently leads? then, when someone asks them to join the organization since they call him/her by this certain name, they refuse!!!

it's confusing, really. how come people bestow upon themselves the right to call someone "boss" or "chairman" if they are in fact, not actually a member of that organization and even refuse to join them??

forgive me but i believe that certain perks like calling someone "boss" are reserved for those who allot their time to really join an organization! come on, you don't call someone your "boss" unless you are employed under him or her right?

my golly, it's so confusing!
