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!

I recently..... was working for the BBC in the children's TV department.
My job was to set up the phone in competitions and present the results to the viewing public.
We acquired a new cat, and ran a competition to give it a name, many results came in, but 2 showed signs of being most popular.
As the phone in drew to a close it was obvious that one name was the clear winner, but instead of putting "Cookie" in the winners placeholder on the VT editing software, I accidently typed "Skullfucker".
It got a bit tense, and the board of goveners were called in to investigate corruption in BBC phone ins..
Apparently they drowned little skullfucker in the show's roof garden pond and they're going to re-run the contest next week.
Boy did I get a dressing down for that little faux-pas! Made me feel a proper fool.
