I have a meeting in 90 minutes
No doubt one manager will berate me for leaving a folder on my desk when it should have been locked away. My desk that you can only access by going through two extremely sturdy locked doors.

Sure, best practice and all that, but it was simple forgetfulness and I just know this guy will take great satisfaction in getting on his high-horse about it.

Tell him to jog on.
in the style of Seargeant Angel.

Just smile, apologize and say it will never happen again thus leaving him no excuse to waffle on about it.

This is my preferred technique

And then watch him like a hawk for the slightest error that he makes. And drop it into a conversation with one of the other managers.

I have never heard of a more appropriate occasion
upon which to hop up onto your manager's desk, drop your trousers and have yourself a cracking, tear-stained, wailing Lord’s Prayer-er.

You'll feel better, he'll feel better....it'll clear the air and allow you to get on with your day. Honestly.

I think he'd react in the same way
As Ed Norton's boss in Fight Club

Tell him you operate by your own rulez
If he carries on berating you offer the sage advice of turning 360 and walking away. Failing that just tell him to fuck off

Turning 360 degrees leaves him facing the same way doesn't it?

I noticed that
But knowing Rory that was entirely deliberate

That's a fantastic thought
"Yeah, well fuck you!"
*spins 360 degrees*
"What the fuck are you still doing here?"

Wait til there are loads of people in earshot
and then say 'I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and taking your work home with you is a laudable practice when it's necessary, but why were you loading that memory stick with all of those paedo images the other day?'
