I've been in the company for a couple of weeks and two people were working on a piece of software. The two people where a mid level developer (MLD) and a working student (WS). Following conversation happened.
MLD: Hey, I reviewed your code.
WS: Ok.
MLD: Seems fine as far as I can tell, but you did not stick to our coding guidelines
WSD in a very serious voice: I am the coding guideline.

This was not a joke. He meant it and that was the end of the discussion.
What I didn't know, MLD has been there for a couple of months only, whereas WS was kind of on board from the start and was in fact the better programmer. Not knowing this the whole situation was quite bizarre.
