Re: How do you take being told off?

If it looks like I might get told off for a minor misdemeanour I usually get one in first and say in a little voice I know I am doing this wrong, but I was not sure what to do. I deliberately come across as non confrontational - a bit bewildered even - and usually folks feel sorry for me and send me on my way. Works very well for me. I've done this for years.
