JobsworthsAll over the world there are little people following the rules and being arsey because, let's face it, it's fun.
Tell us about your experiences with petty jobsworths, or, if you are a petty jobsworth, tell us how much you get off on it.

Jobsworths!Made the terrible journey from Winchester to London Waterloo on the morning cattle train on business and duly discovered that there were no more seats.
So, duly wander to first class and sit down to read my paper. I saw the conductor coming and knew he was a cnut because his uniform was immaculate (as were most SS Officers)
Him - "This ticket doesn't entitle you to a first class seat!"
Me - "No, but it does entitle me to a seat"
Him "Not in first class. You will have to pay the three thousand pounds difference"
Me - "Fuck off or i will break your jaw"
Needless to say there were plenty more staff waiting for me at Waterloo. Amusingly, none of my fellow travellers would back up the guards story, so i walked away scot free.
Apologies for length and peculiar smell arising from it.
