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.

I work on the tills at Homebase.This offers fantastic opportinities to annoy bastardy customers with petty jobsworthiness.
Most customers are buying something that is either sharp, comes in a spraycan or contains solvents.
My till automatically propts to get an ID off the customer (I hate that till, it thinks it's my blooody mother or something!) This means I have carte blanche to irritate chav DIYers by IDing them, then asking them to repeatedly re-sign the till slip if they use a short form of their signature, the pen is dodgy, or pretty much any other "reason" I can think up.
