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 in constructionConstruction involves lots and lots of money and so it is necessary to have a certain level of beaurocracy to ensure that the lots and lots of money doesn't dissapear into lots and lots of brown paper bags. At least not too much of it anyway.
I once flew to Seoul to a meeting where the guy who was hosting it refused to talk because he hadn't received an official agenda. He just sat there and smiled for 2 hours.
The same guy at another meeting spent 4 hours repeating some shite about receipt of hardcopies and emails not technically existing in order to explain being 6 weeks late returning drawings.
