Not that all teachers, by any means, have this tendency, but I have experienced far too many teachers that take a holier than thou attitude when confronted on something.

For instance, when someone asks another person what they do for a living as a means of validating their position in an argument. Why would someone either ask or care about that when having an argument??

I mean, really, what if the target had said they are a shoe salesman? Would you deem their opinion null and void? Or, if the target says they are the Arch Bishop of Minnesota (or some equally meaninglessly impressive position), would you concede the argument?

Elite.
Yep. Clearly.

I dont give a flying flip what you think about me or generalizations about teachers. I just have thougth ahead a bit and it seems that if people get together and meet each other it might be more pleasant if they did not have to stumble upon inuendo about one doing this and that to another.

And yes it is clearly not good if I got seen in a bar drinking by parents of students I taught. It should not necessarily be that way but it is.
