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!

Parents, who needs 'emI have been told off by plenty of 'other' adults (they tell me I am one, myself, but I refuse to believe it) for talking in movie theatres, or generally being a nuisance in public. I'm usually with friends, so we do the big, clever thing and laugh it off.
What gets my goat is when my parents tell me off for not eating breakfast (they say it's the most important meal of the day, but rarely do they specify what it should be--therefore in my case, I choose coffee and cigarettes) or for not putting my books on the table neatly. Apparently, if the edge of the stack isn't parallel to the edge of the table, it's a crime against humanity.
Though, I've never felt properly chagrined for these, so...
Hurray! Three straight QOTWs I've provided a not-quite applicable reply, let's see how long the trend will go on...
