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.

Storemen JobsworthsWorked at the MOD in Bath for a while, and the storemen were the biggest jobsworths of all, probably failed their Stagecoach Bus driving test or something.
1. 'Have you got a 'scope lead?' 'None on my computer sonny'. I can see one in that store bin there' (points helpfully to required item' 'Sorry son, if it's not on my computer I haven't got one'. Eh?
2. 'Have you got a power supply unit, I need one urgently'. 'No, I've only 4 left' 'Er, can I have one then'? 'No, my minimum stock levels are 4 and if I give you one then I'll drop below minimum, and that contravenes regulations'.
yes Len, I'm talking about you....
