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.

Not me, but a friend!A friend, who shall stay nameless...told me today about his ordeal on getting some stuff from the local shops.
He had a "special" 50p, similar to the £5 coins you could buy at the dome!
He tryed buying something, which came up to £10.50, he gave the £10 note, and this 50p...they thought it was fake (the 50p not £10). He got a bit annoyed and starting ranting and raving about it being legal tender, etc...he then gave them a different denomination of money..and he got 50p change.
What really made my smile was, the 50p they gave him was the same sort as the one they wouldn't accept from him...he then joked that he shouldn't accept it, then left!
