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!

FantapantsBack when the "nicknames" QOTW was going on, a fellow b3tard colleague and I were having a lot of fun with it seeing as our boss was short and ginger with despotic tendencies.
Actually he was a nice guy. But fellow b3tard and I spent a very pleasant Friday afternoon emailing one another ginger-based nicknames anyway:
carrot top hahahaha!
ginger nut hahahaa!
rusty gusset mwahahaha!
fantapants mwahahahaa!
agent orange mwhahahahahaaaaaa!
On Monday morning, I was hauled into the conference room by the boss.
The Boss: Is everything ok?
Me: Yes...
The Boss: I mean, we're cool, right?
Me: Yes...
The Boss: There isn't anything you want to talk to me about? Anything you're unhappy about?
Me: No...
The Boss: Then why did you send an email on Friday calling me a ginger wanker?
Whoops.
I even had to keep a straight face as he asked me, "Fantapants - do you think that's funny???"
Sorry boss :-)
