List of Pretentious Shit

I got an e-mail today from a guy with this signature block (edited to change his last name and title):

David Wellman
Chief Douchebag
Pronouns: he/him/his
Company Name
Address

WTF? Regardless of one's sex/gender/DNA, I would think the name "David" would cause the presumption of those pronouns with pretty much anyone. I could see if it was a boy named Sue and he wanted to put in he/him/his to avoid confusion off the bat, but it is pretty fucking pretentious to think the recipient doesn't know that David is a fucking male's name.
 
It's likely that David works for a company with one or more transgender employees, or one that wants to seem at the cutting edge of social issues.
 
A musician/music contractor friend of mine used to have his title as CMFIC. It means Chief Mother Fucker In Charge.
 
ex mrs diggler has that ms/her crap on her signature and it's definitely pretentious shit.

on a scale of "meh" to "ruined your day" how bad is this, exactly?
