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.

Sourpuss at lemonade standAt a county fair several years ago, got in line for fresh squeezed lemonade. This guy had no sense of humor at all.
Me: "Lemonade, shaken, not stirred."
Sourpuss: "We only make it one way, sorry."
Me, speechless: "Okay, make it that way, then."
As he's crushing the lemon in a large glass tumbler, the glass cracks and splinters fall in.
Me, in a voice sufficiently haughty to convey humor: "Oh, I'm not going to want THAT one!"
Sourpuss, paniced: "I wasn't gonna make you take it!"
Some people are hopeless.
