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.

Jobsworth 2During the height of the U.S authored global airport paranioa I was divested of a 12 inch long silver chain on the grounds that
"you could get that around someone's neck mate"
i replied
"that's right, you can. It's a necklace."
They were so contrite and amused they explained as I only had about 30 seconds or a minute to make my flight I could post it to myself, presumably from the hovering mobile post office that would maybe appear, or they could throw it away in the big open bin they kept next to them, or I could turn around. I had to throw it. It was solid silver and worth more than the flight and possibly their months wages. Unfortunately the wages for me at the other end were needed. I hope they sold it and had a good laugh at me while they drank the proceeds.
