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!

Does this count?After a multitude of recent headaches I finally took myself off for an eye test. It transpires my right eye no longer has any interest in my line of work. Now I was expecting a modicum of sympathy having never worn glasses before and being slightly annoyed about the situation. I was slightly perturbed by the (old, female and crotchity) optician suggesting, along with disapproving looks, that I'd perhaps been "using the internet too much". She was clearly suggesting an old-fashioned approach to the causes of eyesight reduction which I found a little unfair and unprofessional. I'm not normally lost for words but to be honest she was probably close to the mark and I felt a little ashamed.
So I'm officially a wanker...
On a more cheery note I do seem to be having a very slight degree of success in selling my body for charity.
