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!

Stern father-in-law.Way back when I first started going out with my now wife her parents used to come over from the east coast from time to time to take us out for a meal.
The first time he paid for everything so on the second occasion I ninja-paid the bill. Apparently this really really pissed him off.
The third time after being warned by my girlfriend not to try paying for the meal again I insisted on going to get a round of drinks in.
As I was getting up to go to the bar I had my father-in-law to be thrust a 20 quid note in my general direction and offered,"These are on me."
"No, No. You got everything the last time. It's the least I could do."
"BOY! Do as you're told." He announced in a well practiced tone in full earshot of all the other diners.
I guiltily took his 20 quid and got the drinks in.
That's Head Masters for you.
8 years later he still refers to me as 'The Boy' when in conversation with my wife. I'm 36 ffs.
He's great though.
