Not trying to be funny, but this really did happen to me once.
I was doing a course, and the boss lady called me into her office one day.
When I returned one of the other trainees asked what the boss wanted, and I replied "Nothing much, just got hauled over the coals for being late."
This woman's eyes widened in horror. "Hauled over to Coles???" she gasped, glancing in fear in the direction of the main road, on which there was indeed a Coles store, possibly trembling in anticipation of being hauled over there herself.
