This is a question Jobsworths

All 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.

its just a packet of lemsip...
Ok, so it was freshers week at uni and I ended up on the receiving end of the inevitable freshers flu. And I got it bad.

So off I pop to the campus shop (hey, I`m building up a nice rhythm to this story!) to get as much lemsip as possible. I pick up 2 packets of the extra strength shit and walk up to the counter where the lady at the till informs me

"I`m sorry, it contains ibuprofen (or something similar..I`m no chemist), by law we can only sell you one packet."

I was slightly taken back by this and still managed to joke "so if I went out and came back in again I suppose I`d be able to buy another?".

"yeah fine."

"oh! well cant I just walk over there then come back?"

"no. you`ll have to leave the shop first."

I pay for the first packet, leave the shop, walk back in again, pay for second packet, scratch my head.

Think this post is too long for a relatively unfunny story? Me too, but its ok I dont mind.
