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.

Fucking Stagecoach Drivers
I was on the bus last week, on my way to fix an old lady's pc (I do it to earn a bit of dosh on top of college. She keeps recommending me to all her coffe morning friends, and I've found if I undercharge they pay me more and recommend me further... *evil laugh*)
Anyways, I was on the bus (South Manchester, UK) coming up to my stop, when we hit a traffic jam (caused by roadworks at a rather busy junction up ahead... aha! jobsworth workmen as well... they should be doing it on the weekend) and as we inched closer to the stop a queue formed behind me, waiting to get off.
We were 10 metres from the stop, and I said "Can you let us off here, mate?"
"No, I can only let you off at actual stops - (get this...) - if you have an accident, I lose my job"
"OK, I will take all responsibility - will you let me off now?"
"No, you'll have to wait."
The fucking twat was on such a power trip that he made us wait until he had lined up the doors exactly with the shelter.
One thousand apologies for the length, master. *bows
