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!

My degree has longer terms than the other wastrels in uniand so when all of the other departments were revelling in the post-exam timewasting before the holidays, we were still in lectures gazing out of the windows, even on the day of the summer ball. On a Friday. Until 5pm. Naturally a lot of my classmates had bought tickets for the ball which started at 3pm, so they all left after lunch to get ready for the festivities. Now while on a normal degree the lecturers would just roll their eyes and write it off as typical student behaviour, we have to sign a register proving that we attend every single lecture making it more difficult to skive, and on that particular afternoon our course leader decided to call in to class to give us a talk: 'what the... where the... where is everyone???' Out of 160 of us, only 40 or so were left, cue the biggest bollocking about non-attendance to the people who'd attended, plus a repeat the following monday when everyone was back in. I was there and I still felt guilty!
