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.

NyphurYes, any of us could make a bus ID, but what about the NI card and the bank card? Or are you suggesting he found/nicked the first two and went home and made a bus card?
Who nicks a wallet and keeps proof that it is not theirs?
The chances of someone 14 years old that does not know someone who is 15+ that could buy the film for them is slim.
Just swallow your pride man, I wasn't going out to make you look like a silly tit, I was merely sticking up for someone unfairly (IMO) targeted, when there are (IMO) much more obvious targets.
Once again, and I am sure I'm not the only one, if I worked in HMV etc. and someone offered three different cards of proof that they were 15+ I would sell them the film. A jobsworth wouldn't, which I believe was the point.
