This is a question Being told off as an adult

When 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!

Treated like a child? Behave like one in return :D
A couple of months ago at my place of employment I somehow ended up taking a phonecall from some irate lady, can't even remember what she was complaining about but she wanted to talk to one of my 'higher ups', none of whom were in the office at that time.

So I tell her this and inform her that I will get someone to call her back as soon as is possible, blah blah blah. She's not happy about this and starts ripping into me over the phone, whilst I politely repeat that all I can do is get someone to get back to her.

I reckon she was actually crazy as she kept going off at me even though the original complaint was nothing to do with me at all, and I was trying to keep my cool (our calls are recorded so we have to play nice) when she came out with 'I am finding your attitude quite appalling' (wtf?)

What did I reply with?

'Well... I find YOUR attitude appalling!' (Well it's true, I did ;P))

I think that kinda threw her, surprised I didn't get pulled up for that actually! She was a biiiitch.
