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.

There's nothing I love morethan doing my job to the point of annoying the customer.
Don't get me wrong, if you're a friendly person, I'll treat you with respect and gracefully perform requests and answer questions with a smile. But, if you come in treating me like a slave, I'll try my best to annoy you.
I work at a gas station. Seeing as how winter's over, there's no need to do this anymore. It was company policy to shut off the pumps when someone went back into their car. This proved very amusing for me. Shutting it off when they tried to protect themselves from the cold, they'd come out when they realized it was off and I'd turn it back on again. This went on until they became annoyed enough to come in and complain. I would then proceed to tell them our policy.
They thought that I would regret them never coming back.
This is just one of many services I offer.
