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 and Rubbish JobsworthinessSeeing this post has reminded me...
When our local council introduced a two-bin recycling scheme it meant that the normal rubbish was only collected once a fortnight and anything that didn't fit in the wheelie-bin was not collected. What to do with the extra rubbish?
Easy! Take it to work and throw it in the skip. All the rubbish removed from trains and platforms goes there, as well as my bin bags. Trouble is everyone else had the same idea so management promised Big Trouble for anyone that was caught throwing their own rubbish in the skip.
The solution? Leave bags of rubbish in the luggage racks of the local train for the cleaners to throw in the skip for me.
