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.

Trucking tales.In haulage, the biggest jobsworths are the cnuts who book loads into warehouses, the Goods In clerks. They're neck and neck with the gate security, who are thicker but have bigger boots.
Case 1: Booking in, the GIC tells me it's going to be 3 hours to unload. Fine I say, I'll be asleep in the cab. "No you can't sleep in the cab, it's against the fire regs." So I stretched out on the counter. Tipped and gone in 20 minutes.
Case 2: At the gate, security inform me they're going to search my cab. So I fart before getting out. Long, loud and noisome. "Sorry mate, dodgy kebab".
