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.

Jabba the HuttI used to work in a call centre and my manager was a right arse-faced cow (Jabba was her nick name). One of her greatest moments was introducing a flag that we had to put on our monitor whenever we were away from our desks. For "being away from desk", read "doing toilet". Honestly, if you needed to crimp one off you had to get the flag and put it on your monitor first. Twenty operators and the one flag.
The idea was scrapped after me and my mate would loudly ask "where's the flag, 'cos I'm dying for a shit!"
Apparently, according to her, they do it all the time down South (she was from Essex)...
Apologies for boringness
