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.

Too many to mention...The Rail Industry's full of them, one of the reasons why I quit.
Like having to get 3 signatures on a document from 3 different people, who are all in different parts of the country.
A certain rail network company are the worst of the lot. Myself and a colleague got b*ll*cked for not checking a date on a method statement - all that needed to be done was for me to print off another sign off sheet with a different date - but oh no, the jobsworth had to read all 133 pages of the bloody thing before he signed it off.
Or the time when a multi-million pound job in the south was put on hold because the chief project manager went on holiday an hour early, even though he knew the deadline was 3pm. No-one else in the company would sign the approval notice.
Gits.
