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.

several examples of jobsworthness.Just below Junction 31 there's a Welcome Break called Woodall services, which is a proper shite hole. I used to work in the Granary, which is basically the restaurant where they charge huge amounts of money for a crappy meal. When I worked there you had to charge 10p for sachets of tommy k and brown sauce and mustard, now if I got a nice family who were spending upto £40 for a meal for 4 I'd throw the sachets in for nothing. However next door was a McD's who used to run out of sauces, and when they ran out of sauces I would make all of their customers pay for every individual sachet. The same with all the business men who got it on expenses anyway.
----------------------------
I'm now a telephone monkey dealing with people increasing their mortgages, when they want to borrow more they speak to me or my colleagues, and after 20 minutes we tell them, if they are nice but don't have all the information we need then I'm really polite and wait whilst they find the relevant information. If they are twats however I tell them to call back when they have all the information.
I like being petty and jobsworth with rude individuals, and I'll go out of my way to help polite customers who treat me like a human being.
