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!

The last time I was told offI was working for a company just north of London. There were 2 developers, including me and a bunch of hardware guys. 2 of the hardware guys were admins of the work network, and they tried their very best to stop us developers having any amount of access, it was extremely frustrating!
Anyway, one day I was fiddling with VB6, working out how to send emails with code. At the time I didn't really know what I was doing but I thought as a laugh, I would try to send one of the network guys an email from himself, not understanding the principals of relaying at the time, I was highly surprised when it worked.
Question from my boss,
Boss: "Hi Nick, how are you doing?"
Me: "Not bad thanks, how are you?"
Boss: "Good, listen, do you know anything about sending Frank an email, from himself, reminding him how fat he is?"
Me: "Uuuh, yeah, sorry, I didn't think it would work."
Boss: "HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW DESTRUCTIVE THIS IS????"
....
We ended up having a staff meeting about it, and Frankie was dead set on giving me as much shit as possible. He even accused me of hacking his email and informed me that he was taking issues up with his mail provider. I managed to flip the meeting around so nicely, saying that he was overreacting and that he should get a sense of humour that the boss ended up having a pop at him more than me! Hahah have that, you fat bastard!
