Love the expression!
To think of it, sometimes I need to be this at work when stakeholders are behaving badly. Not in a legal sense but reading the policy back to them.

Anything on there that prohibits people bringing a bag of 54 capsule dishwashing pods on board?

A friend of mine, occasional lawyer and full time pedant,

I'm not a lawyer, but I do like things to be clear and unambiguous, less conjecture, guesses and more fact. Spelling and grammar are important.

Many years ago I had a youngish supervisor appointed over the top of me who was always off at a tangent and making random pronouncements. His emails and report writing

In a meeting where I yet again pointed out a statement he made wasn't quite correct he lashed back with "you are the most pedantic Pr... I have ever met".

I was not offended

Back in time, we did peer reviews of project business cases and I gained a nickname "Mr Red Pen" because I always had a plethora of questions and suggestions for clarifications. I carry that name with pride.

I've also been called a stickler by someone much more senior. Exactly, sir, I'm here to help...

When I used to go to Darwin for work I had to pick up a couple of foam boxes of Barramundi for my boss

I presume as an export and not an import - it is important to keep the boss well-fed. - Back when the world had a sense of humour, I used to take Legs of Pork to Manado to feed hungry mine management—the good folk at SQ used to fill my esky with dry ice, which did the trick.
