Traffic wardens
already been mentioned once. But is there anything more soul-destroying than a smug traffic warden/traffic cop. The lazy saunter, the grin that they're struggling to contain, the small piggy eyes alight with glee, the grating note to the voice as they point out that 'ahem! I believe you are at least fifteen seconds over this timelimit.' Or the traffic cop who stops you on your way to the airport and insists on checking every single thing (all perfectly legal) to such an extent that you miss your check in. There is something so relentlessly petty and small minded about these people that I struggle to believe that it's just a job.

I think people who genuinely are like this before, are the people who choose to specialise in that area. The sort of people who'd happily ticket their family because hey! It's a number isn't it. And what sort of petty small-minded bastard would put humanity against a quota? Well not this brave warden. Good on you sir. You make this country and this life a better place to be.

If they read this, they'd probably take it as their due. Sarcasm doesn't sit well with them

I usually manage to park legally, and collect my car within the allotted time...
Why do you take it out on Traffic Wardens that you are a disorganised selfish twat who wants to park wherever you like?
