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.

Jobsworth GPA few years ago I was fatter than I wanted to be. I read about a new diet pill, so, all other diets having failed, I went to my GP to see if I could get some. He weighed and measured me, then we had the following conversation:
GP: Your body mass index isn't quite high enough for me to prescribe this drug. You'd need to be about half a stone heavier. Then you'd have to lose some weight without the drug to show you're committed to doing it.
Me: how much would I have to lose?
GP: about half a stone
Me: so, let me get this straight. I'd have to put on half a stone, then lose it again -- then you'd prescribe the drug?
GP: yes
Me: so can't we just pretend I've put on then lost half a stone?
GP: erm. No.
