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.

Railway Jobsworth part 3...Contrary to this post the National Conditions of Carriage - which you must agree to before buying a ticket or getting on a train - says that buying a ticket does not entitle you to a seat. If there are no seats in standard class and you have a standard class ticket, you are not entitled to sit in first class. Of course if you ask the guard politely he might let you but it is a privilege not a right.
See: www.nationalrail.co.uk/conditions.htm#j
Technically your ticket doesn't even entitle you to travel on a train. This is why Virgin Trains and the like can get away with putting on a 3-hour bus "service" every Sunday to replace the 1 hour train journey.
