Being told off as an adultWhen 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!

DemarcationI work as an IT spannermonkey for a large technology firm, an anagram of the company BMI... Anyway, one morning I was monitoring the helpdesk (I'm 3rd line) and I had the outright audacity to authorise a change request on behalf of one of my colleagues ... a request so banal and dull that I thought nothing of it.
Said bloke decided to chew me out and give me a bollocking in front of the office. So what did I do? Did I obey my first instinct and clobber him in the face with the stapler? Perhaps pick him up and lob him, screaming, through the third-storey window headfirst?
Did I fcuk. I made some half-hearted defence, refusing to accept I had done anything wrong, sloped back to my desk then ten minutes later, stormed off to the pub for the rest of the afternoon.
Grrrr.
