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've just been told off....... by one of the QA managers.
I wasnt really paying attention though, I was thinking about whether to varnish the doors in my house with an antique pine finish or paint them white.
I'd decided at the midway point to varnish them, when I heard the words..
"Totally unacceptable lack of preparedness on your part...."
I drifted off then thinking about the car this morning whose exhaust fell off just after he'd cut me up on the parkway, and I started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Uuuh, sorry x, what were you saying? I wasnt really paying attention"
Cue really deflated look of middle manager who has had the wind removed from their sales.
She wandered off muttering something under her breath.
