Especially if it's by one of the BLM shower.
Is that why you look like the Mad Monk 'Rasputin'

Re: How do you take being told off?
I am such a goody goody I am mortified if I am told off for actually making a mistake. I'd be a bit shocked probably and not say anything. A bit like when I realised that my dipped headlights that are on all the time were not bright enough to drive at night. This was after a policeman tapped my car window in a traffic jam....awkward!But if I am told off for something that I know is not my fault I will say so (although maybe not to a policeman!). So if they put signs where people can't read them I will tell them that they might want to make it clearer. I've even intervened when I've noticed someone blame another for something that isn't their fault. Normal people are ok about it if you explain. Really depends on how you talk to them. Except for the guy who tried to blame my dog for another dog's poo, I couldn't convince him but then he was a twit.

I only tolerate Holier than thou persons if they ain't jobsworths, and ain't just quoting chapter and verse. If they have suffered a bit to arrive their high moral stance, and can think a bit outside the box, I might take notice and give the person credence and acknowledge the reprimand.

Any Bloke, who has been married a length of time, will have developed the ability to put on a look, which suggests that he is aware of his transgressions, whilst, secretly, thinking "I wonder what the football scores are", etc!"What time's tea? is not a good answer!
