This is a question 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.

Anti-Jobsworth
Quite the opposite...

Used to work in retail in a popular GAME shop (no clues at all)...

One day my boss had annoyed me and 'told me to get my act together'...

So I gave three games to my mate when my boss was upstairs... He copied em for me and all was well... Never got caught either.

But if i had been caught it would have been due to pesky kids and a talking drug-addicted dog...

Need i go on? (I HAVE LOTS!!!!!)

--------------------------------

Working in a video store (not a popular one though), I often gave away video's and dvd's (rental) in exchange for beers, Pizza's and drugs. Never got caught either...

-------------------------------

Mentioned it before but...

Working in a popular GAME!!!!! store... we had a tit of a hitler who would do his rounds on the stock checking days and made sure everyone had an amazingly awful day.
He practicaly ordered me to make him a brew... so i did. I rubbed the underside of my helmet around his cup and gobbed in it...

Never got caught!

----------------------
Also in the popular GAME store we would have a weekly meeting to discuss important changes in the workplace. Every week it would be the same old shite about motivation, customer service and loyalty and at the end we would be asked if we had any questions... This meeting would happen even if nothing at all had changed in work... Nothing.... This went on for about six months... But they did try and spice it up with a bit of 'FUN'... They made us all rearrange bits of words and we had to make a phrase from them... It turned out the phrase was just the company motto (OUR CUSTOMERS ARE OUR LIFEBLOOD BLAH BLAH BLAH)....

I walked out two weeks ago and have now enjoyed the free life with no money! The feeling of telling the boss that the job is shite and i'm never coming back and watching his face drop is better than sex.

*Massive apologies for length and everything else. Ever.
