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.

Not me, but the missus at the bankI won't say which bank, though (because I don't know what HSBC stands for).
This was while the better half was at uni. It was the beginning of term and she was at the limit of her overdraft, but that was OK, since she had paid her loan cheque in two days before.
She'd just finished work and didn't have change for the bus. So she pops into the bank and asks the cashier for a tenner. "No, you don't have the money in your account" says he. So the missus explains that two days ago, she put in a cheque for over a grand. "I know, it's being processed, but it hasn't gone in yet" says he. She spends another ten minutes arguing with him, until giving up and having to walk home (about five miles!).
She closed her account the next day.
First post! Huzzah!
