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!

ChivalryGood old fashioned chivalrous manners are dead in this country. Opening doors, giving up seats, standing up when a woman enters or leaves a room etc and for a long time I thought the blame lie with us gents. I was to be proved wrong...
I was in the shithole that is Romford a while back for a reason I choose to forget but I was in some shopping centre (The Liberty?) As I was coming out of it I saw a reasonably well dressed (read: non chavvy) woman with a pushchair coming towards the same door. So I did what any self respecting gentleman would do and opened the door for her.
Only to be met with a tirade of abuse including:
'I can fucking manage the door myself'
'Just because you're a man doesn't mean you have to open the door'
'Child birth hasn't rendered me a cripple'
and on and on. I was so gobsmacked at this avalanche of feminist bullshit that my usual witty comebacks eluded me and I just stood there and took it all. Bitch.
