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 love teh Licensing LawsUsed to work in a small supermarket open until 11 every night. Unfortunately for the town full of alcoholics who frequent the store, I was legally bound to stop selling alcohol at 10.30 on Sunday nights because "it's the LAW!". One of the best parts of my job was waiting until they'd made a selection at length from our relatively pathetic range of alcoholic beverages, lugged their bathtub worth of Foster's up to the counter, and then telling them I couldn't sell it to them. The crushed look on the faces of the Ben Sherman-wearing masses made my job worth doing.
Also, getting a job there when you're 17 and having to see photographic ID from every customer, even if they are 50, is worth a grin. If it was any of you I got, I'm sorry. It was fun at the time.
