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!

Dressing downs are great when you're not the recipient.I was waiting on Tottenham Court Road to meet a mate of mine for lunch.
This white Ford Escort van came up the road, heading northwards, swerved onto the wrong side of the road, swung about the pedestrian island and attempted to head down the side road where I was standing. Unfortunately, some OAP in a Mini Metro was blocking the way. White Van Man started up with the "Facking caahnt!" routine while slapping his sovereign-ringed hand on the bonnet of the Mini and giving the poor old bloke a right bollocking.
As an aficionado of free street entertainment of this ilk, I was in my element and chuckled away to myself. Matey van driver spotted me and started giving me abuse of the "Watchoo laughing at caaahnt?" variety. This only amused me even more so he got more irate. What he couldn't see but I could from my vantage point was a police van heading southwards which had stopped behind him.
I helpfully pointed behind him, he looked, went white as a sheet and attempted to squeeze through the tiny gap between the Metro and the railings but to no avail as the PC bore down upon him with a "Yet another twat to be dealing with" look on his face. White Van Man was all "Yes officer, no officer, I'm very sorry full officer" The copper made him reverse back and continue northwards, so missing his turning.
