Jobsworths
All 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.

Frisco Airport
Last year I was in Sanfransisco Airport - at the time I still smoked. So after a 12 hour flight I done the obvious - found out where I was allowed to smoke and headed there post haste. In SF airport the only place to smoke is outside the doors of the airport. So I stepped outside, light up my smoke when the jobsworth patrolling outisde zoned in on me and told me I wasn't allowed to smoke there. I looked at her and said I thought this was where smoking was permitted according to the sign 5 feet from me, she said no - you have to step over there (pointing at a yellow line 1 foot from where I was). So I took one step to the side, over the yellow line where I could then blow my smoke back to where I was originally standing!!
