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.

Being ID'dI'm currently 27, this happened when I was 24..
Now I did look a about 20 at the time but that still no excuse for this.
And I swear its completely true!
I'm in Sainsburys with my then girlfriend, she's doing some shopping for her mum.
We get to the cheese counter and they have a little booth with samples of cheese! (I'm notorious for just going to the supermarket for the free samples).
I spot a lovely stilton with Apricots mmmmmm, so I ask for a sample..
"Are you 16?"
"Pardon?"
"Are you 16 love? we only give samples to under 16's if they are with there parents."
"But, I'm 24."
"Do you have any ID?"
"FOR CHEESE?!"
Not a word of a lie..
