It's not the reasonable, well-thought-out ones that are the problemI mean even crap like "only use the right hand side of the stairs and always use the handrail on pain of a fine/bollocking/disciplinary" is almost- almost- acceptable.
It's when the rules are applied without thinking- for example the OP probably wouldn't have fallen off (assuming he did because of it being muddy as is implied) if he'd had a sheet of wood underneath him to spread the weight and stop him sinking. But the rules as far as $jobsworth knew didn't say anything about that, and it didn't even occur to him that the rules might not be the whole story in this situation.
