This is a question Being told off as an adult

When 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!

Bad Manners
Whilst accompanying a friend/potential love interest and her precocious seven year old daughter (think the computer from Resident Evil) on a shopping trip (aaargh - the things I do for "love") I found myself abandoned on managed to escape to a bench outside La Senza for a well deserved cig whilst watching the world go by and minding Darling Daughter who was also bored and getting hyper on crisps and fizzy drinks (she didn't smoke).

I was idly contemplating this older gentleman in a somewhat bizzare combination of clashing clothes topped off with shades and a porkpie hat negotiating his way up the road with a stick. He had just drawn alongside when I hear in a loud, peircing voice designed to carry for miles, "Jmaxi - Don't you know it's rude to stare!!".

True, however as I later tried but failed to explain to the little angel - the guy would not have known I was staring as he was blind. *


* it probably is rude to stare at the blind (and unfair)
