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!

In-LawsMet my new boyfriend's parents for the second time recently, they are nice people but his Mum's an ex teacher and his Dad's a retired headmaster. Say no more.
We were happily swapping stories about people mispronouncing things (they are Northern, they mispronounce everything a far as I'm concerned!) and I told them about the lady at work years ago who pronounced sorbet as 'sore-bit'. Encouraged by the laughter from all, I went on to tell of the package of foam pads labelled 'form pads' - well that is how you pronounce foam up in the Valleys! Then I got told off for 'being unkind to people'.
How is that unkind? Even the QA manager laughed at the time, and he was a Plaid Cymru voter.
Next time I'll tell them the sheep-shearing joke.
