Discussing with a bunch of Germans their sense of humour, I pointed out that of course they do have one. It's just that it involves invading Poland. For a joke.The rules above — and the 40 other pages of them — were initially designed to help temporary employees who might not have worked in a high powered banking environment before coming to UBS look professional.
All 43 pages can be found as a PDF here (in French)

I didn't impress when I pointed out once he'd got up the stairs that he'd forgotten to clean his hands with anti-bacterial gel because of all the germs that can be found on handrails.

Halfway up the stairs, carrying some stuff, someone coming down told me I was on the wrong side of the stairs and made me switch to the other side, while they were stood on the mezzanine floor. ******. I was too surprised to tell him to piss off and grow up.
