white sock

A civil servant or lowly paid employee of a major corporation. Designed to make simple tasks such as paying bills or applying for services more difficult than they actually are.
These people only wear white socks, as they are too poor or uneducated to be able to present themselves properly.

Applying for any government service, and having to fill out 5 forms when 1 will do. Then a month later when you enquire as to how you application is going, you have to re-apply as they inform you that you filed the wrong forms. You have been white socked!
