Geheimniskrämer oder Paragraphenreiter Explanation: trifft vielleicht nicht 100% aber nach meinem Verständnis geht es eh mehr um die Tatsache, dass beides keine Berufe im eigentlichen Sinne sind, sondern eher Möglichkeiten, sich wichtig zu machen und/oder Sand ins Getriebe zu werfen Hier nochmal zu den Clampers: http://www.adcom.uci.edu/~sjweaver/newclam.html Und hier ein Beispiel für Jobsworth: http://london-underground.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_london-und... (nach Jobsworth suchen) Have fun! ;-) |
