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.

MedionMedionShop.co.uk - avoid!
After selling me a faulty, refurbished laptop computer as new (Sale of Goods Act, anyone?), just trying to get my money back out of these people took me bloody weeks, and that's with Trading Standards on my side.
Multiple phone calls of the "It's with accounting" and "Your cheque will be in the post this week" variety - hmm, nice customer service, guys'n'gals.
Best exchange: "Where did you get that then? We haven't sold those since 2003" "I bought it from you." "Ah."
The most jobsworthy bit was when I asked if there was any way they would consider my time, credit card interest, and general hassle for all this. After all, if they loaned me £500 for 4 months they'd bloody well expect some money off me for the privilege, wouldn't they?
Not a chance, I am told, in no uncertain terms.
Bloody jobsworths.
