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!

More pedestriansI had a similar experience in a multi-storey car park in Perth a few years back. It's a very tight place to manoeuvre in, and as I was trying to go down the exit ramp I was right across to the cars at one side to give me enough room to swing round. A man walking back to his car started gesticulating at me, so I stopped and wound down the window. I wasn't about to run him over or anything - he was walking towards me beyond the point where I was going to turn left.
"This is for PEDESTRIANS", he whined, indicating a two foot wide strip of dark red painted concrete which was all but invisible in the dimly lit car park, and had no markings on it anyway.
"Whatever", I replied, "And you try driving a big estate car around here without driving on this bit".
Twat.
I also now feel suitably chastised by the b3ta overlords who deleted a post of mine this morning, presumably because it was trivial and frivolous (which it was). Sorry. I won't do it again. Honest.
