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.

Yet another anti Stagecoach postI got on the Stagecoach, number 86 from Chorlton to Manchester City Centre (I'm not an artist or lesbian if any of you mancs are wondering). I pulled my Megarider out of my wallet and realised it was out of date so was about to put it back in my pocket and pay for a new one. However, the woman bus driver started screaming at me that I was trying to sneak on the bus with an invalid bus pass. I said, quite calmly, that I hadn't realised it was out of date and was about to buy a new one. The mentalist driver notched her anger level up a notch or two and refused to let me on the bus as she was fed up with people trying to rip her off. I repeated that I was sorry and wasn't meaning to diddle her. She still wouldn't let me on but I wasn't going to get off as I hadn't done anything wrong.
Just realised this story is getting long and is quite boring so I'll get to the 'punchline'...
I asked for her name and driver number so I could complain, she refused but let me on for free! I felt good.

P.S. why do I always need to fart whenever I get into a lift?
