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.

PedometersI used to work under the sign of the Golden Seagull. A while back, they made up a 'Go Active' meal - a salad, a drink and a free pedometer. We were only allowed to give out pedometers with these meals - or they had to pay 99p for one.
Enter the chav. A tall, well-built one, skinhead, bad teeth, dripping gold and a foul attitude. Ordered the usual McGreaseburgers, then demanded a pedometer. I told him he couldn't have one, but he could buy one separately for 99p. He progresively gets louder and arsier, swearing at me and generally making as much fuss as is humanly possible, and demanding to see a manager. Who I dutifully called over, and she told him he couldn't have a pedometer either. Frustrated he refused to take his Greaseburgers and yelled "I'm going to KFC where they give you free stuff when you ask for it!" I calmly told him to have a nice day, as per my training. Lovely.
