-Neat Christmas decoration and the same curtain\/drapery style on the windows.
\n-Even sweet so called salads.
\n-Butter overdose (almost on every food)
\n-Weird kinds of bread.
\n-Lunchtime in 11 o\u2019clock.
\n-Cinnamon overdose.
\n-Raw fish and what i mind the most: people go to work, go shop for food after work and hide at home in case there is no holiday to make them go out.
\n-You rather stand up in the bus than sit next to someone you don\u00b4t know.
\n-If you are angry at your neighbour you write a note to them because you would never dare to say what you think of them face to face.
\n-When you are abroad you avoid the domestic food, it\u00b4s really scary to try something new.
\n-Is it very swedish to be un-swedish?
\n-To hover behind you and not say \u2018excuse me,\u2019 or \u2018pardon me,\u2019 when they\u2019d like to get by you in a store or they need you to move out of their way. They just stand there for fear or bothering you, even though you have no idea they are there!
\n-To think that a two hour drive somehwere is really far. You should not only consider staying overnight, but also bring your own sheets. You also better be sure that you have a thermos of coffee and some kanelbullar with you so you can stop for a little fika on the way. And certainly don\u2019t forget your thermos of coffee if you are headed to the beach. Nothing quite like a proper fika with a hot cup of coffee at the beach on a sweltering day.
\n-Being annoyed with your neighbors for leaving lint behind in the communal laundry room (tv\u00e4ttstuga), or even worse some one dear to be late emptying their wash out of the dryer so when it is your turn to was someone elses clothes are STILL IN THE DRYER.
\n-Grab a ticket then stand in line. Swedes think a queue is so sublime!
\n-KETCHUP\u2026. on just about everything.
\n-One word\u2026 LUTFISK.
\n-The typical behaviour will be eating surstr\u00f6mming, solving everything in non-violent way, be suspicious and distant for most of the topics.
\n-LACK OF VEGETABLES. Just think of the typical Swedish meal: Meatballs with potatoes, no vegetable involved unless you add lingonsylt.
\n-To take off your shoes before entering a house in Sweden.
\n-All my relatives tend to drink coffee after meals, always with lots of cream\u2026. just the way they do in sweeden?<\/p>\n
