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!

*pop* There's that cherry gone...So hubby and I went camping recently and all was fine until we got to the campsite. The speed limit is 5kph because of all the kids or something. The slowest we can physically go in our car without stalling is about 8kph..
We were following this woman in a 4WD who was doing about 7.. It was all fine until she stopped her car and got out, came up to hubby's window glaring at us with that cat's bum mouth look of a woman with her head firmly up her own arse, fairly bursting with her own self-importance... bla, bla..
She proceeds to tell us off for driving too fast. Keep in mind that we were following her, so logically we can't go faster than she is, right?
She spewed forth a tirade of condescending crap but this is what I remember:
Cat's Bum Woman (In a very fake polite patronising voice): "You know there are kids playing around here, don't you? Slow down. You could hurt someone."
Gobsmacked hubby: "Er.. We're following you..."
CBW (Pissed off): "Well, you're going too fast. See that sign? It says 5. (Sarcastically) Thank you."
And she walks off before hubby can argue the fact that, logically, that means that she's going too fast as well.
Really. 2kph is not going to make much of a difference when your car keeps stalling. Stupid old chav.
