The Swiss pride themselves on not being stressed.

Having worked in Geneva, the only people who acted like that were the non swiss (typically the french) who worked there

I think you will find that the swiss pride themselves on being boring and arrogant and think they are far superior to anyone else

Absolutely spot on, even worse though are the strange, strange people who move there permanently because they "fit in" with the Swiss.
Never before have I met such an anal group of people, even the smallest thing was a political nightmare and trying to do anything big, as I was, means having to spend 50% of the time convincing various anal managers that its in their best interests to f'king do something about it.
