Today, on the road in China, I committed a small offense. A cop saw me, stopped me and told me that I deserved to be punished. He didn’t fine me, instead he sent me to the naughty step for five minutes. FML

It's where you sit in a chair or on the stairs for a time-out, lol. I guess that's better than getting fined, haha.

As someone unfamiliar with Chinese customes, what is the "naughty step"?

Did anybody else think this was going to be the introduction to a cheesy porno?

I can't be the only one curious as to what OP did to deserve going to the "naughty step". Lol

I like it better public shaming (in just these very small harmless ways) can sometimes work.

Better than getting a fine. But do the Chinese Police carry steps around with them for this sort of thing? Or did you happen to be pulled over near a staircase?

What did you do and what is a naughty step?
