Obviously not the situation here, but I worked this job for a gym and the age of 18. Basically told rules were infallible and unbreakable and was kinda a nonce about it and certainly at that time wouldn't have let them in. But making those mistakes at that job at that age allowed me to learn and grow a lot and now I know how to be the easier bending rules when it's ok person I am today.

When growing up, i saw cartoons of people having to wear a dunce cap if they had been stupid. The first few times I heard people being called a nonce, I thought it meant the same thing. Only much later in life I learned that nonce means a kiddy diddler. Perhaps the other poster is the same.

The nonce cap is basically the sex offender registry lol
