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!

I told off a woman onceat a wedding I was playing at. At half time, as oft happens, someone came up and wanted to sing. Unusually, she had an "accompanist" who wanted to play my keyboard. Fine, I said, go ahead.
So said accompanist sat down at my big expensive workstation synth with its weighted keys and all of its knobs and buttons, plonked a few notes, and proclaimed "This is useless, I can't play this", because it didn't have Casiotone auto-accompaniment rhythm backing built in or something, or the keys were too heavy. Whatever.
So I replied, "It's a professional keyboard. If you can't play it properly then don't complain to me. I can't compensate for your incompetence".
That told her. She shut up and went back to her table and didn't bother us again. Result.
