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.

Another Weatherspoons StoryAs I don't drive and never been abroad, I don't have any forms of ID. When I was 18, that was a problem, so I applied for a Portman Group Card.
This card, issued by the Portman Group, is a legal form of identification (has photo, DOB, address etc.). Fair enough.
I got it, and immediately got ID in Weatherspoons. Whipped out the card, they said "sorry, we can't accept that ID."
Which is a pain. Considering that the same Weatherspoons a week earlier had sold me that card, and there's a big batch of leaflets behind the counter promoting them.
I was refused, wrote a very angry letter to Mr. JD Weatherspoon (who I thought existed, but he actually doesn't - thanks to another board member for pointing it out. I feel so cheated) which I emailed the local press, and got a voucher entitling me to 2 for the price of 1 on all draughts. Bonus!
