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!

On the subject of phone interviews c/f Pooflake's mateI did an interview at 6pm, on the handsfree, in the pissing rain on the M6 in the dark of November, with a very high up chap of a large consultancy firm.
I interrupted one sentance with the phrase "fucking Dutch truck drivers" when one of the same cut me up, and the phone call, which should have been 45 minutes, ended in less than 20. I thought I'd blown it.
Turns out he thought I was teh aces *boggle* and - after the agency had told me I was still in the running - called me back for another chat a couple fo weeks later.
"Hello FPKK, it's Steve from (companynamehere) here, are you OK to talk?"
"Ah morning Steve. Yeah, I guess so - I'm in San Francisco and it's half three in the morning but on the other hand I've got jetlag and was awake anyway so what the hell, fire away"
Still at the job today :) so not so much told off as erm.....
