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!

Snobby sis-in-lawAll sat round formal dining table around Chrimbo time. Me and Mrs YC were being pretend veggies, another story. So we were given huge amounts of veggies and no meat "I didn't know you were veggie and have nothing in, you just have to have vegtables".
After we'd eaten our fill Mrs was struggling with her still half full plate as the plates were being collected by s-i-l.
"You don't have to eat it all" I said to the wife...
"I'VE BEEN TO CUBA, THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THE STREETS DYING OF HUNGER EAT: IT ALL" s-i-l bellowed at me as she headed for the kitchen.
Took me a few seconds to realise I was 30 years old and didn't have to take abuse.
"Well post it to them" I said, then realised she was out of earshot but 10 of her relatives sitting round the table were all now staring at me.
