Today I was spoken to like a child - by another adult.
I have never been spoken to so rudely in my entire life.
I am old - I thought this shit was over with!
I was gobsmacked - I didn't know what to say!
Literally what do you say as a professional when someone speaks to you like that!??

Say something like

"May I ask why you feel the need to be so rude?

I appreciate that you have something to say, but in future please have the courtesy to behave like a professional.

I won't be spoken to like a child and frankly I'm quite shocked at your behaviour"

"Concerned about" rather than "shocked at"?

Thank you!
I simply didn't know what to say - I wanted to say something along those lines but didn't want to cause any further argument!
Thank you!
It really upset me - I'm sure I'm not old enough to be an adult!

Same thing happened to me at work last week, I was sooooooo astounded that I couldn't even think of a reply - I''m glad I didn't now though - leaving them in suspense is better :)

I go to a caravan club site in Southport. 3 times they have told me off like a child. I am bloody 46.

Sorry to hear this unfortuanlty some people just have no manners and no amount of education will change that. I'm sure you remained professional at all times, which would have been the right thing to do. Some days stay with you longer than others in this job, just try to take one day at a time and remember its not you thats in the wrong here,
