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.

Car Rental too!Like Mr.Jelly, I also work in car rent. If a customer is very rude or unhelpful, or in a hurry when they bring the car back (we get lots of 'better than you' types whizzing through) I like to try and ask them as many questions about where they left the car, is it full of fuel, any damage, etc. It is fun to watch them get close to the point of shoutyness but not quite because, after all, you're only doing your job.
Car rental is a REAL Jobsworth job. There are so many ways of thwarting people's progress. Some of them fun. Some of them not. Like when a lady turns up at 11pm with a voucher and no credit card and we can't do the rent because we need to take a deposit, and her mother has just died, and she starts crying and there's nothing you can do. Real nice.
