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!

I'm a 20 year old still living at home.
Well i am doing till i fuck off to uni on Sunday but because of this and my hopeless immaturity i am told off virtually every day. The last time was today for uttering the word "dick" in reference to what my little brother called me. Anyway none parental bollockings atm of particular relevance spring to mind, so ill tell of two other times.

The first was on the bus. I remember seeing it pull up and thank fuck the bus driver stopped for me. I got in breathless.and asked for whatever i needed. "what do you say?" was his response no hint of even tongue in cheek.WHAT THE FUCK! the nerve of this cunt! He then proceeded to give me a lecture about how i should thank him. I should take this time to inform you that i think of myself as a polite person and would normally give the obligatory "thanks a lot" etc, i must have been just relieaved to get on the bus and it slipped my mind, but to demand it!!!!! You are not entitled to anything for doing your fucking job mate. I however am a ball lacking coward and swallowed my pride.

The other time was at work. I used to work in customer service but my superiors hardly ever told me off (the customers are another story but i never felt small as i knew if it was my fault i had to take responsiblity but otherwise it was the dumb company's or the fuckin twunts themselves), partly because if i majorly fucked up, id keep it to myself and sort it out on my own and secondly i was the quiet kid who just got on with it and they were clueless of how i'd react to it. However that didn't stop some people. Namely this woman who for lack of a better vocabulary was the office bitch, you know the first to snap when an unfortunate colleague slightly slips up but who laughs it off when informed shes made exactly the same mistake, the clincher is she is on the same level and holds no power over you. Anyway after being dragged over and raved at for something that could be sorted out with the click of a button i was not in the best of moods, i did the "i'm angry let me push something to show it" bit with a chair and stormed into the canteen face red with rage only to bump into my line manager. She later informed me after speaking with the deputy, that maybe i needed to work on my temper but if i wasn't happy with who my criticisms came from to have a word....... So there you go hardly enthralling but my best for now none the less.
