But it gave a detailed list of instructions on how staff should ensure that they had a “polite ‘aim to please’ approach,” with a ban on discussing their “personal problems” and a rule to “be cautious of noise levels and noise.”

“Unobtrusive is the key,” it stressed.

“Do not eat or drink in front of Mr. Epstein, Ms. Maxwell and their guests,” stressed the rules, which also forbade chewing gum and allowing cellphones to ring while dealing with the couple or their guests. The house phone “should be answered in three rings or less,” the book warned.

“You do not expound on the weather or any other subject” when entering bedrooms, the guide warned.

Staff had a list of common words and phrases that were banned, including “yeah,” “sure,” “gotcha,” “you bet,” “I dunno” and even “no problem.”

They were instead told to say the likes of “with pleasure” and “You are quite right” — and if criticized, reply, “It was completely my fault; I will make the changes immediately.”

Staff had a strict uniform of blue pants and white golf shirts, replaced with long-sleeve white shirts “for dinner service.”

“Items in pockets must not create a bulge or be visible,” the rulebook dictated, while staff should also “avoid using strong perfume or aftershave lotion.”

The book included lengthy lists of groceries and high-end products the couple always expected to have at the ready, including 32 toiletries that Maxwell demanded for her personal bathroom, where toilet paper had to be folded in a “V.”

For paid staff? I don't see the problem.

Yeah, I kinda get that. If you click on the link, you'll see the entire rules set out - 59 pages.

Just seems a little extreme, but then I've never had paid staff in my house, so I don't really know what the standard is.

I have never had a problem with my paid staff following house rules.

Certain maids had their own handbook and dress code...
