verytime you see a swedish brand/actor/company/phone/car/furniture store you feel compelled to point that out to your non-Swedish friends (with barely hidden pride in your voice)
-You seriously want to HURT non-Swedes who ask 'how's life in SWITZERLAND?
-People ask you if you have polar bears on the streets and you try to spread the myth further by saying it is true
-You go seriously sentimental when entering an IKEA store, outside the borders of Sweden
-You love complaining about Sweden when you are there and state "it's much better in Sweden" when you are
abroad
-You take your shoes off when entering a house, and don't get why non-Swedes find that funny
-It annoys the hell out of you that there is no good translation for the word "lagom" in any language
-Whenever discussing international problems you always, without exception state that "why don't you do it like we
do it in Sweden?"
-You don't mind walking instead of taking the car
-You insist that Swedish chocolate is the best in the world, despite what the Belgians and the Swiss might say
-You go seriously sentimental when entering an IKEA store, outside the borders of Sweden
-Making fun of Norway is a national institution. And vise versa.
-You have been accused of being from Switzerland. Repeatedly.
-You always go “That’s not REAL snow” whenever it snows in countries that usually don’t get snow.
-You think its completely normal to at least have studied one year of German, one year of French and one year of Spanish.
-Every time you see a Swedish brand/actor/company/phone/car/furniture store you feel compelled to point that out to your friends (with badly hidden pride in your voice).
-You just love to ‘fika’, and know that it is an activity that is meant to last for hours and is not the equivalent of going for a coffee.
-You celebrate Easter and Christmas a day before most other countries.
-You know that real Easter eggs are not made of chocolate; they’re made of paper and filled with pick’n'mix (lösgodis).
-You feel bad if you’re not outside on a sunny day.
