[Closed] What have you been "told off for" lately?

*tss tss tss tss tss tss tss tss*

what music were you listening to? Most annoying thing on the planet is being forced to listen to tss tss tss tss tss tss tss tss from someone else's phones.

You're dead to me now.

leaky earphones always sound like Phil Collins *fact*

I quite like it, try to work out what people are listening to. 🙂

Last time I remember being told off was by the boss, for leaving a picture of a bike displayed on my screen. Stupid cow.

I just can't seem to grow out of it 😳

I think this thread is approaching its genesis.

sussudio think wants to listen to your tinny noises?

Swearing at 2 drivers who pulled out on me on sunday. 1st a lady who said the bloke [b]behind[/b] me had flashed her out so she was in the right. 2nd a meathead who just wanted a fight (he did a u-turn and went about a mile out of his way to offer me one)

Can't comment on yours but people with noisy headphones on the train annoy me.

But they weren't ear buds they are proper headphones (coz I is down wit ya yoot, innit) and I got them cause they don't leak.

I is innocent, Guv!

Told off by wife for eating a whole bar of fruit and nut (over the course of 3 days) and not giving her any. She was at work the first 2 attacks at the bar, and the last 4 squares of the bar were my breakfast at 4:30 am.
I bought 5 new bars and hid them about the place for her to discover. It was hot this weekend so cue new telling off for covering various household items with gooey, melty chocolate.

Got told off by MrsMc for wanting to change my road bike.

Just after she told me off for not having decided what I wanted for my birthday present back in April. If I had a different bike I know what [s]it[/s] I would need for my present.....

I rarely get told off, cos I'm very well-behaved. The only time I do get told off is when I'm cycling down the road in primary position. Usually by someone angry, fat and ignorant 😀

Told off by Mrs Daz this morning for swearing in front of the kids when I realised I had a puncture on my commuter bike just as I was about to leave. Then told off again for swearing some more when I couldn't get the tyre off with a single tyre lever, followed by another scolding for swearing when I couldn't find another tyre lever. Not a good morning 👿

Told off by Mrs Nem for suggestion that my sis to get a particular Lego for my son's birthday despite us having already bought it for his birthday a couple of months back and I'd forgotten... 😳

Tend not to be told off by anyone. They might mutter something under their breath but not to my face.

Last time was probably in primary school 🙂

Last thing I got told off for was racing down a bridleway to Edensorm hitting a bump, getting BoomGnarly air and landing perfectly in the puddle splashing mud all over poor Solarpowered. Ooops.

Binners, that reminds me of this...

I rarely get told off. SWMBO just does the silent brooding thing.

Whist we're ranting about car drivers, does anyone else ever get the temptation when cut up/pulled out on to just not brake and brace for the impact?

Tinas - depends which bike I'm on and whether I want to replace.

Oh god where do I start?

Tea towels are not for blowing your nose ( who knew)
My floor is not an extra storage space for clothes and plates
Crystal castles is not relaxing music
20 mins is apparently too long in the shower
Trying to work out the tab for jigsaw falling into place while for football is on is not allowed

I made a mess in the kitchen after she had spent over an hour cleaning it apparently. This was said to me just as we were finishing a roast dinner I'd made with all the trimmings. That'd be the reason for the mess then. She wasn't pleased with my reply 'well you didn't do a very good job, look at all these dirty pots' there's gratitude lol.

[i]does anyone else ever get the temptation when cut up/pulled out on to just not brake and brace for the impact?[/i]

Only if I have a video camera running 🙂

Very little lately other than the road bike tune up, new front wheel and 2 new tyres from the lbs last month.

I must be slipping!

on sunday the other team manager insisted that she [u][b]must[/b][/u] get me a fluro' bib to wear if I hadn't got one so I could take our team list to the ref's room

- I had mine in my pocket actually so nah nah nah to her
(U12 soccer)

does anyone else ever get the temptation when cut up/pulled out on to just not brake and brace for the impact?

No. I'd be a broken mess by now if I did!

I've just booked a bloody expensive holiday in the Doli's for us two, nice relaxed drive over with a stay in s****y hotel in Eperney (Champers region) then meander over the Alps into Garda and onto Como, s****y hotel stay for 8 nights, return for a double stay over in the Vosages region before Eurostar back..

MrsBouy moaned at me cos' shes got nothing to wear..

Bloody Wiminz. 🙄

Im 26 ad got told of by my mum for getting drunk at my sisters wedding reception, the fact that she was being sick apparantly doesn't make things better.

Stopping on zigzags...

Ioddrik - you are a "Fool" 😆

Not putting my shoes away in the correct(obsessive compulsive)fashion. 🙄

Not putting my shoes away

garotting offence in my household. OCD? Moi?

What've i been told off for recently? I've been married nearly 14 years; how long have you got?

Hmm...

The dining room table is not an appropriate place to store the frame I'm rebuilding.

Hanging bits of bike from coathangers whilst the paint dries is also not good, especially when the pointy bits are at eye level.

My brewing kit should not leak on the kitchen floor.

It is not appropriate to blame someone else when I lose something I've misplaced in my shed.

I was told off for not having three points of contact when walking down a flight of steel steps. I didn't improve the situation by proceeding to hop the rest of the way with my hands above my head to annoy the rule-Nazi further.

^^ nice mental image 🙂

My son told me off for farting on the sofa.
Me: "You can't hear it, you've got headphones on!"
Him: "I can feel it vibrate the sofa!"

It's not really telling off, it's that look that says 'I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed' when the postman staggers under the weight of 'the shiny'. The kids tell me off for being childish which is a bit of a mind bender, people at work occasionally tell me off because the excuse 'I'm a northerner, this is how we speak' isn't mitigation for a lack of empathy and my dog tells me off every hour between 3pm and 6pm that it's WAY past time for his dinner.

I'm at an age now where I just nod and smile 😉

Bollocked for not bleeding Mrs Pie's Reverb after shortening the hose. 😀 Well mine didn't need it. Yet.

Most recently swapping 2 of the keys around on somebody's computer at work. It turned out that one of them was a key she used for her password so ended up locked out of her computer for a while after too many incorrect attempts 😆

Dirt from my bike on the hall floor 🙄

And riding on a footpath

After reading about it so many times on here over the years I actually remembered to use the "I know silly isn't it" line! And this is how I felt whilst delivering it 😆

I got a proper telling off last night for farting in bed.

It was a spectacular, gag inducing, rumbling room clearer. I was very proud of it so well worth the telling off.

Being an arse.

😆 That picture gets me every time, mainly as it looks just like my sisters youngest boy when he was little.

Anyway I got called (well shouted from the open window of a passing car) a F*c*ing W*n*er yesterday, I was doing 30 in a 30 zone that is well known for spot speed checks. Bloke was probably doing easily 50 into a blind corner!!

Not putting clothes away, I thought on the spare bed next to the wardrobe was sufficient. IT ISN'T!

Not my most recent but my favourite...

Last summer I got told off by the owner of a German campsite for riding in the children's pedal tractor. He said if he saw me in it again, he'd lock it away.

Last night for her being hungry.

Later today for a project I'm running that's going to cost the business £££.

Eating too quickly, always eating too quickly.

Got elbowed into semi-consciousness the other night only to be angrily accused of 'Breath and moving', apparently I was keeping her awake.

In my sleep addled state my reply was along the lines of "I'll work on stopping the breathing then the moving should take care of itself"

This is according to her as I don't remember any of it, she was fuming when I actually woke up in the morning.

Using the paper cups from the coffee machine area for the water machine. The plastic ones next to the water are for the water.

But I don't like them. They don't fit as much in, they're bendy and flimsy and get all wet with condensation. So I'm still using the paper ones. Just not when [i]she's[/i] around.

Bollocking postponed until next week.

Trouble is, the audience is even more senior. And there are several of them.

I get told off most mornings for farting while I'm asleep and chuckling to myself, I don't know whether she's telling the truth or not, so then I start laughing again at being told off

I pick up my new cranks tomorrow.

I may be back..

Covering the driveway in a really rather attractive combination of coolant and engine oil. Everyone's a critic.

I think the catch all of "failing to read minds" covers a multitude of heinous unforgivable sins.

I got told off by my 2 1/2 year old daughter for not sitting down on the toilet to wee. She then told me my 'front bottom' was wrong, and didn't look like Mummy's.

I'm fixing the toilet door this weekend.

not watering plants which didn't need watering

Been told off for

Putting dirty clothes in the washing machine - apparently it makes the washing machine dirty!! (It was a normal load not dirty biking kit)

Putting dirty pots in the clean dishwasher

Opening kitchen cupboard doors whilst unloading clean dishes from dishwasher.

Cleaning the car when allegedly I'd agreed to reupholster it!!

I got told to get down off the furniture yesterday. Slightly startled by that...

Got told off for having an affair with another women ....... in MrsFla's dream !

She hit me as I woke up and was in a grump all day - apparently i didn't take it seriously enough

Got told off for having an affair with another women ....... in MrsFla's dream !

I once woke up slightly disgruntled because I dreamt that Mr Toast had left me for a women with a ginger perm and a Specialized Hardrock. He assured me that he'd never leave me for a woman with a worse bike (or a ginger), and all was well.

I get told off for not cleaning the seals and spraying my forks and shock(on my bike, not cutlery). Also for never answering my phone.

my 2 year old told me off for looking at him.
then he said he didn't like badgers.
then he said there was a rabbit in the tree full of stones.
then he handed me an invisible badger to eat.
toddlers are very random.

I have just been told off for not buying bananas from the shop I have just been to for beer, well more for not taking my phone so she could tell me to get bananas. The offer of a pound so she could buy them as she drives past the shop right this second on her way to the running club resulted in another telling off.

I got told off for pointing out that for past year our boxes containing our product Urine Eliminator have been going out to our customers just saying Urine on the box!

I don't really care but why does the messenger always have to get told off?

I just don't understand women apparently.
She's right though.... I really don't sometimes.

He totally had his fingers crossed, Alyson Hannigan on a steel framed catalogue special, I defy anyone to resist 😀

Chainsaw ing in flip flops. Mrs K rightly gave me a terrific and well deserved bollocking.

Got told off by a chap for starting work too early on a Saturday.
It was 8.15am and I was taking a fence down. Apparently I didn't have to make so much noise as his kid was still in bed.
He informed me of this whilst standing 20ft away at volume. I'm not a small chap so maybe standing with a hammer in my hand smiling sweetly put him off standing any closer :O)
I wasn't sure what to say. My kids get up at 6am no matter what!
I asked him what work he did so I could offer him so advice on how to do it more efficiently/quietly.
He disappeared.

For not insuring the road bike and thus having to keep it in the kitchen. I think she knows deep down that I haven't bothered insuring it because I'd rather keep it in the kitchen.

Due to being understaffed and overworked, everyone at work, most of the time.

Apparently it's not the done thing in the public sector to tell a colleague that they are out of their depth - even when you are trying to 'unpick' the mess they're creating...

My 3 1/2 year old told me off for not buying milk from the shop, as she wanted a milkshake. This was straight after i'd walked in the door from work before even saying hello!

She soon shut up when she realised i'd bought cake!!

I was censured severely tonight for offering to go to the shop, purchase some ingredients, bring them home and then turn them into a meal for her to eat. I know, I know, I'm an arsehole.

I did one of those FB sttaus updates today that kinda went 'today will be busy, I'm doing a ride and some work, yoga class, another ride, some more work then a meeting about blah blah blah..'

I was pretty proud of myself for the list of stuff I was planning to achieve as it's pretty uncharacteristic but I got no end of shit for it 😕

[quote=nedrapier ]So I'm still using the paper ones. Just not when she's around.

Coward.

Our drive is long and steep. Riding home from work one (hot) day I got to the top, checked the post box, then took my helmet off and hung it on the bars so I could enjoy the breeze while coasting down the drive.

As I got to the bottom my two-year old was there, helping MrsH hang the washing out. He saw me on the bike without a helmet on and told me I was naughty and put me in a time-out! I had to sit at the edge of the lawn for 30 seconds, trying to keep a straight face while he berated me 😐

Ohh I've another..
MrsBouys mini rant last night..

Clearly I wasn't listening, I don't very often, she could tell... 😆

Riding briefly on the wrong side of the road last night. Hardly the end of the world but oncoming lady thought I'd scarred a small child's face 🙄

the most recent bollockings that i remember are for:
- going to llandegla for a ride and coming back later than planned
- allowing the pizza to overcook slightly while i changed gonzy2's nappy (the nappy didnt even need changing) while she fed gonzy3
- wanting to stop at the garage to fill up and check the tyre pressures on the way to birmingham
- going out into the garden last night to bring the washing in

Ahh the old imagined or dremt infidelity

i did get told off in February for having a friends fiancee "flirt outrageously wiht me" I now know in future that at childrens birthday parties i should not act like a huge child hitting people with balloons then being pile driven by saidf children on the bouncy castle is such a flagrent act of flirting (i will instead sit there liek some of the proper miserable grown ups and just play with my mobile phone instead)

gonzy - Member

- going out into the garden last night to bring the washing in

You'r such a bad boy!
