I know I'm from Sweden!
Snodde denna lista från Eira.
You know you're from Sweden when...
- Everytime 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 know at least 10 Abba songs by heart
- Whenever discussing international problems you always, without exception state that "why don't you do it like we do it in Sweden?"
- You take your shoes off when entering a house, and don't get why non-Swedes find that funny
- You don't consider a congregation of trees being a "real" forrest unless it takes at least 20 minutes to drive through it
- It annoys the hell out of you that there is no good translation for the word "lagom" in any language
- You don't mind walking instead of taking the car
- Generally, you prefer writing in pencil, so you get thoroughly confused and insecure when told to write in pen during exams in schools abroad
- You answer the phone by saying your first name and not just "hello"
- You actually miss “Knäckebröd” when you are abroad but never eat it in Sweden since it's too dry
- You insist that Swedish chocolate is the best in the world, despite what the Belgians and the Swiss might say
