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.

Little Indian Jobsworth...I went on holiday to Goa, India. On the first evening (about 10:30pm) we decided to go to the club that was part of the hotel complex. My wife and I were both wearing shorts, although they were the smart 'trouser type' rather than sports wear.
Before I could touch the door handle a little Indian jobsworth materialised in front of me and said I could not go in wearing shorts, (didn't mention my wife's shorts though).
After a couple of minutes trying to talk our way in we decided to give up but asked could we just open the door to have a quick look at what it was like. The jobsworth said: "I'm not really supposed to but i'll let you look this time."
He opened the door, we peeped in, and there was no other fucker in there, apart from six bar staff standing there looking hopeful...
