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!

Praise BollockingA few weeks ago, my piss-poor excuse for a boss (a small, bitter, bald tool of a prick) and the un-aptly named 'People Manager' (an uptight, pretentious snob of a cow who doesn't know the names of half of the people 'under' her (*shudder*)) called me into the office. Being a fairly lazy, and reasonably
But no. 'We've an AMAZING POSITION for you in *insert crap area of company*! No wage rise, longer hours, but it's a DEVELOPMENT ROLE! How's about THAT!'
'Why offer me it?', say I.
'You're perfect for the role! You were our first choice! As soon as it came up we thought, that's for her!'(Note - it had been on the internal applications for a month, then in the paper, they interviewed 5 people, employed one, who promptly turned the job down. Then my bosses thought of me. Nice.)
'I don't want to do it. I am happy where I am.' (Lie, but I'm not working from 7am for no bastard)
(Annoyed) 'Well, if we do decide not to move you (EH? I thought I had a choice!?) you'd better shape up or shift out! We can't have people slacking - you've really dissappointed us!'
What the fuck!? I have never been taken into an appraisal, promotion and bollocking within ten minutes before!
