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!

My dadUsed to always tell me off for driving too fast through puddles.
"They can put you off the road, you know!"
Well, this is undoubtably possible, but it's quite unlikely unless it's a major flood, not just a wee puddle at the roadside.
After several years of repeatedly being bollocked for it on every occasion when he was in my car in the rain, I asked him who had told him about being put off the road.
He told me.
"Aye, but Doug drives a Reliant Robin", I said. "You can put them off the road by driving too fast over a manhole cover."
He hadn't realised this bloke had a three-wheeler. I have since heard no more about it, thankfully, and can now make big splashes through puddles without paternal reproof.
There was also one time when I deliberately drove through a puddle and soaked a little kid at the side of the road, just for devilment, but because my dad didn't happen to be in the car that day, I got off with it.
