I went to a barbecue the other day and came up against a woman who is almost as tough as me. They only had steak sandwiches or a plate of meat (which included sausages, burgers and chops) as the menu options. Because I had the kids with me, I asked if they would do sausage sandwiches for them. She said 'no, it's not on the menu'. To which I replied, 'but I you've got sausages on the barby and you've got rolls so why can't I have sausage sandwiches?'. Again she said 'no'. I was a bit incredulous at this. Anyway, I got what I wanted in the end by waiting until she was serving someone else and asking the bloke who was working there to make some sausage sandwiches for me.

What a jobsworth she was, she's put me off going back to that place. Anyone else got any good jobsworth stories for us?
