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!

Stood upMany years ago I used to get the train out of Waterloo to good old 'commuterland' after a hard day earning my pittance. Thanks to too many years abusing my body with martial arts, my knees are somewhat knackered, and if I had to stand all the way home I would hobble off the train in agony. I therefore made sure I got to the station in time for the train arriving at the platform, so I could nab a seat.
One day a woman on the train had to stand and was letting everyone around her know, in no uncertain terms, that she wasn't happy about having to do so. Staements such as "and there was a time when a gentleman would let a lady have his seat" were uttered in our general direction. After about 10 minutes of this I decided that I'd had enough of her inane wittering and said "madam, your half of the species wanted equality, now live with the consequences."
I got a round of applause from those within earshot and she shut up.
