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.

In the bank, this morningMe: Can I have a paying in slip please? I left my book at home.
Her: No. We don't give out blank paying in slips any more.
Me: So I can't pay this in (waves wad of currency)
Her: Not without a paying in slip.
I stomp back to the office under a cloud, annoyed at this new policy. I tell my boss, who laughs and sends me back to the bank armed with the right question to ask:
Me: Can you write my account number on a blank paying in slip and give it to me please?
Her: Certainly sir.
Nnnngh!
