This is a question Being told off as an adult

When was the last time you were properly told off? You know: treated as an errant child rather than the sophisticated adult you are.

The sort of thing that dredges up an involuntary teenage mumble of "Sorry, Miss" whilst you stare at the ground.

Go on, tell us what childish thing you were up to when you got caught.

Oh, and can we have more than one-line answers this time? Cheers!

My line manager at my previous job
He tried to call me one morning - after I'd emailed him to let him know I'd had my phone stolen - then emailed with the title "ARE YOU WORKING?"

I mailed back to say "Yes, here is everything I've done this morning and here's everything I plan to do this afternoon. Oh, and here's the number of the pay-as-you-go phone I'm using in the meantime."

Two weeks later he pulled me into a meeting, suspended all my work-from-home privileges, and gave me a right bollocking for being uncontactable. I lost all interest in the job after that, the stupid French cunt.
