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.

Like being a jobsworth? Be a fire alarm service engineer...I've been a fire alarm service engineer for three years now...you know the routine, someone comes to your office, briefly sounds the alarm, checks that all the nice people are going to survive should a fire break out, etc, etc, etfuckingc.
There are MANY of you out there (always some stripy-shirted middle-management own-office-but-only-big-enough-for-one-desk-and-one-ego turd. With glasses.) that don't appreciate what we do and insist that we should test alarms outside office hours or during the weekend....bollocks, mate. This is important work that is required by law (!). And just for that suggestion, every time I come to your office, I make more noise than I need to for far longer. Ha! Oh, and you always seem to have fire drills when it's raining, don't you?
