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.

oh dearDamn, petty jobsworths really are reviled. Well, I am one. Woo yay.
I work in a coffee shop, not a fancy one, but a cheap, cheap place. Our clientele are truckers, old people, armies of kids, and the occasionally snotty person who comes in and treats me like a stupid piece of shit.
I don't like that sort of treatment. So I act like I'm either deaf or stupid, whatever I fancy at the time. Usually stupid. They go from sort of stern and ordering, to sympathetic (because they think I can't help it), to frustrated, to livid 'I want to see your manager'...and then beyond livid when I start to crack up and they realize I'm not stupid.
