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.

Blockbuster riddleAbout 15(?) years ago my local video store was turned into a Blockbuster, with the result that the range of films on offer was cut right back. I complained to the manager:
Cal: How come you've cut back on the number of films?
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
Cal: How can you increase the choice by cutting back on the number of titles?
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
Cal: But you used to rent out lots of different films. Now there's just dozens of copies of the latest Arnie vehicle.
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
Cal: No, you haven't.
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
Cal: ...
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
Cal: You're not human are you?*
Manager: We've increased the choice on offer.
*Might not actually have said this last one really...
