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!

TrainsI was recently told off for putting my feet on the seat on the train home, by someone vaguely official.
I asked him why.
'It's dirty and unhealthy,' he replied.
I pointed out to him that unless anyone was planing on actually licking the seats, my clean and un-muddy shoes would probably not cause a great deal of harm.
In the end I acquiesced, because he threatened to throw me off, but I felt slightly bad about giving in to such a pompous jobsworth who had absolutely no justification , so obviously the moment he left I put my feet back on the seat, and, having checked he wasn't looking, bravely gave him the finger.
That'll show him.
