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.

Bouncers (again)
Ok, admittedly I *was* underage, so lose a bit of sympathy here.. however I didn't particularly look it and I was about 17.9999999. Me and about 10 mates were going to a Nightclub and every single one was in without being ID'd, then for some reason I get picked on.
I've got nothing, so I don't get let in. I said, "OK, I'll go home and get my driving licence then", but could they tell my Girlfriend I can't get in. No.
Cue my mate coming out to find me hidden round the corner, I ask him for his licence which he hands over and goes back in whilst I spend the 30 mins it'd take 'going home' learning every available fact on the thing so he can test me.
I get back to the club, looking agitated (as if I'd have had to go home and get it) and hand it over. He says: "Name, Address and birthday?" and I rile it off verbatim.. then the bastard says "Ok, we'll get a pen and check the signature mate".
I just asked him for it back, and stormed off in a huff with him looking very smug in the background.
However I did get my own back next time I was (legally) in there by accidentally causing a powercut, having flicked a switch they'd put gaffer tape over, to see what it'd do.
