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!

@ lollylegshaha, so young and yet so cynical.
I drive a Golf GTi, it's not the fastest car in the world, but it is a lot of fun. I was coming home from work having had a bit of a bad day and I ragged the thing up my road.
Daft thing to do since it was a suburban residential job, but I wasn't really thinking. Just my luck, the copper that lives on the road happened to be outside in his garden and came marching up to me as I pulled up outside my house.
Christ, the bollocking I received was pure, distilled police unnassailable moral superiority. Straight out of the training manuals. I was properly dressed down and made to feel about two inches tall. I was fuming by the end of it and half tempted to chuck a rock through his window. Not because I felt that I had been attacked unfairly, I know that speeding on a residential road was stupid, but that he had chosen Chapter 2 "Scaring a 17 Year Old Chav", rather than Chapter 16 "Giving an Official Warning to 27 Year Old Man Who is Both Larger and Stronger Than You".
I little bit of respect might have stopped me pissing all over his roses on the way back from the pub a couple of weeks later.
