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!

In response to EuroSong's post belowabout bus drivers closing the doors and driving away after you have run for the bus:
Driving off when someone is frantically knocking on the wondow of the bus door is how the drivers eliviate boredom. I believe some drivers also compare notes with other drivers and rate each others performance with an ellaborate scoring system in which you get more points by timing the closing of the doors at the lastest possible moment before you can board the bus... Bonus points are awarded for the longest distance the poor business man/woman/pensioner/school kid chases the bus down the road.
It is more important though, in the mind of the average bus driver to turn his attention from the road at the last minute and to look directly in to your confused, pleading eyes, as he slowly drives away. . . Mmmm Bliss.
This, ladies and gentleman is my, I mean, the bus driver's equivalent of job satisfaction. If it hasn't happened to you yet, it soon will.
