Then there was activity right by the vomitry where 4 jobsworths (FOUR!!) were all looking anxious and pointing up towards the back of B16. Oh my goodness I thought, there must be a hostage situation up there or something... No... there was a 7 or 8 year old boy standing on a chair. "He can't do that, he'll break the chair!" they were saying. Now if a 7 year old standing on a chair is going to break it then how will they stand the weight of most of the fatboys that come to the games?
So one of the jobsworths went all the way up and had a go at the boy, and then went on to have a go at the boys father who just looked bemused as to what the emergency was.
Next there was a very young boy laying over 3 seats near the front of the stadium. This was a good 45 minutes before kick-off and there were no people complaining about the lad being in there seat, but still, jobsworth at the front felt the need to go and have a go at the lad.
Then (and this is all still before the game is anywhere near starting by the way) one of my friends was standing in the row in front of mine chatting when the owners of the seats she was standing by turned up, so she moved out of their way and into the aisle next to me and just started to say "I'll go down to my seat now" when fat jobsworth came over and said "look love you really can't stand there, you're blocking the whole aisle" (no, YOU'RE blocking the whole aisle telling us that because you're obese, but potato potato), and that was the last straw, and I turned to her and said
to which she widened her eyes and wobbled her many chins and saidRawlie19 Oh calm down love, is it your first day or something?"
Good, I said. when her supervisor came she said she'd had a complaint that I'd sworn at a jobsworth and that that was unexeptable behaviour. Everyone around me were amazed and told her exactly what had been said. We then went on to have a conversation about jobsworth doing there job to 110% capacity, and when I explained that 110% was physically impossible for them to do and that all I wanted was 100%, nothing more nothing less, she didn't get it. "Surely you'd rather they did their job to 110% than 50% wouldn't you?" ... er, no, I'd rather they just did their job, and not more than their job. If we had a referee doing his job 110% would you say as he was doing MORE than he was supposed to that he had had a good game? No, you'd say that he'd ruined the game without letting it flow and was a twat (stand up Mr Keith Stroud).Fat Jobsworth You can't talk to me like that, I'm going to get my supervisor"
Anyway, she let me off with a warning
thanks for that![/whinge]
