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.

Australian Immigration twuntsand all the bureaucracy that surrounds them...
basically went in to tell them that my uni course had changed from 3 semesters to 4, and my visa needed to be extended
Twunt 1: "No problem, just come in 3 weeks before it expires and we'll switch it over. You've done the right thing in telling us though. I'll make a note on your file."
Fast forward six months to January this year, and i'm getting my permission to work sorted out
Twunt 2: "Your course goes on longer than your visa is valid for."
Me: "Yes, I sorted this out at the time, there should be a note on my file"
Twunt 2: "Nope. You do realise you're going to need to apply for a new visa. You'll need another medical, another police record from the UK, all the original paperwork and we're going to fist you for around another five hundred dollars in all."
I hate the immigation people. I really do.
