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.

Match stewardsI'm off to watch Swindon Town v Wolves one cold wet Boxing Day a few years back. Match steward wants to search my bag as I go in - fair dos, they're doing it to everyone and I don't want to get stabbed. The following exchange ensues:
(Steward pulls an apple from the bag)
Steward: Is this your apple?
Me: Yes (Thinking: No, I was carrying it for my invisible friend)
Steward: What were you going to do with it?
Me: Eat it at half time (Thinking: have you ever tried queing for a pie at half time?)
Steward: You sure?
Me: Of course
Steward: You weren't thinking of throwing it on the pitch?
Right, like even if I was, I would have said "Damn, you're just too clever for me!"
