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!

Union RepI joined the rank of those poor souls who got busted by there emplyers for going on blocked sites via a proxy (i.e. B3TA)
I got a bollocking from my employers and threatened with the sack so I called my union rep.
My union rep gave me a bollocking too and patronised the hell out of me telling me if I get away with it then I'll be a lucky boy (I'm 26) I told them that if they punished me for doing what most of the school was doing since the implementation of a filter that the Chinese Government would love to have then I would quit and find a better higher paid job. They laughed in my face and told me I was on thin ice and one more incident I would be sacked.
Three months later I am sitting behind my desk writing this at my new workplace where I work less hours for nearly twice the pay. I send daily emails to my old employer telling them just how happy I am and how I will be recommending to everyone there to get out because they don't have to work for a bullying control freak.
No filters here! I told them what I did too and they all laughed. People have told me for a long time that all jobs are as bad as each other, well its crap I enjoy my job here and I am respected and work with a lovely group of people so up your ass Andrew!
