Jobsworths
All 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.

Where do they come from?
Last year in JFK in New York we were all stood in line waiting to take off our bloody shoes and get everything scanned for bombs before boarding and there was a line set back about 10 metres from the machines beyond which you couldn't cross until beckoned by some sparktard with a uniform and a gun. An American family were at the front of the queue and one of the kids, a boy of about 14 was stood in front of his family and over the line by less than a foot. There was a machine free and he was picking up his bag to go forward. The twunt started shouting at him: "Step back over the line, Sir." "Sir, get back over the line." The kid couldn't really believe the guy and was dithering for a few seconds in which time the twunt managed to repeat himself about 3 times. As soon as the kid stepped back, the twunt beckoned them forward. Did I mention that he was a twunt?
