Calling a Kvikklunsj a Kitkat!!!
And eat it like it's 1 piece instead of 4 separate ones
@@nori8867 Yes,I actually think that's illegal..
As a norwegian who would rather stand than sit next to someone, I tried to sit next to a stranger on the bus this morning. The only available seats were next to someone and I tried it. It was AWEFUL. I felt so bad and guilty the whole time. I wanted to get up and stand instead, but I didn't want the guy to think it was something wrong with him, so I just sat there... luckaly he was getting off 4 stops later
Dette er bare DUMT. Du spør om å få sitte ned. That's it.. Hvis personen er sur, ja da sitter du deg ned i setet rett bak og sier til "naboen" han var så jævla sur han foran.. 😅

Ikke i Oslo føler jeg 😅 jeg setter meg RETT NED, fordi jeg gidder ikke stå 😂
Noise on Sunday mean:
Many stores are closed on Sunday, so people like to have it quiet. It’s kinda like a rest day.
being beaten by sweden in any skiing competition.
_Fun (actually?) fact:_
Some public transports in Oslo have 3-seater parts. Most people choose to stand uncomfortably (even with bags) rather than sitting down between (or beside) two people. Lol
Edit: Grammar
Someone coming to Norway saying "Hi, I'm SilvanaDil".
That one is pretty good😂😂
The cutting in line thing very much depends on the situation. In the store, it's very much frowned upon. But waiting for and getting on to a bus, it's usually everyone tries to enter at the same time. And often before those who are getting off the bus have done so.
The noise on Sunday thing, is actually in the laws. You're not supposed to be using noisy tools and such on Sundays. So technically you're not supposed to mow the lawn, cut your hedges and do carpentry on Sundays, even though people often do. Depends on the neighbourhood, how much people react.
Trying to enter a bus before those onboard has gotten off _will_ earn you enemies. So I don't know what you mean with "depends on the situation". When _entering_ a bus, it is completely irrelevant who gets on first in most cases.
I think I'm having a somewhat American experience as a Norwegian. I can't go anywhere without someone talking to me, and it's not because I invite anyone to talk to me, so idk what wrong with my Norwegian-ness there 😂
When I'm grocery shopping, I'll usually let people with less stuff than me go ahead of me in line. But if someone cuts before me I say something. Also not very Norwegian of me but I hate it. I would have let you go before me if you'd just asked. It's not hard.
Haha, I love this. Yeah, you've got 1 job, Find a place to sit on an empty bus. Don't choose the seat next to the only passenger in the bus. It's about personal space.
The cheese-cutter is sacred to us! Don't you dare take it away from us. <
And about noisy sundays. It's from the old days. Don't make noise during church-times. It's about the Sunday-Peace. Although many Norwegians do not goes to church, they still respect this.
Keep it going :) - Love from Norway
The bus thing is definitely an etiquette breach.
Sundays are basically rest days by law, in Norway, that's what the noise thing is about. This includes using loud tools, like carpentry or lawnmowing. If you consistently do shit like that, you will definitely make people hate you.
We use two seats. The seat next to you will stay empty, even if people are standing.
Read this on Freia."When Kvikk Lunsj was launched in 1937 chocolate as nourishment for hard physical exertion was well established. Chocolate was an important supply when the polar hero Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911."
This is the background to Kvikk Lunsj and has nothing to do with Kit Kat.
Yeah, it was _definitely_ not related at all to the Kit Kat that was invented in 1935 in the UK.
The timing is completely coincidental.
Kvikk Lunsj is obviously a copy.
"I 1935 ble sjokoladekjeksen Kit Kat lansert i London. Sønnen til fabrikkeier Johan Throne-Holst i Freia smakte en Kit Kat under et besøk i England, og falt for denne velsmakende kjeksen trukket med sjokolade. Faren tok med idéen hjem, og utviklet, etter å ha fått en avklaring med den engelske produsenten, et tilsvarende produkt for det norske marked. Kvikk Lunsj ble lansert i 1937, og relansert i sin nåværende form i 1938."

@@Myrkish I would like to know the background story of how these two VERY similar chocolate bars were introduced only a year or two apart, almost a hundred years ago. Maybe there is more to the story? But I agree, KitKat was prior to KvikkLunsj
It is still law in norway that holidays, including sundays, are to be noise- and ruckus free. Lov om helligdager og helligdagsfred (Act relating to public holidays and holiday peace and quiet) § 3. Most stores are closed. The day is usually used for more quiet activities, such as family dinner, or, you know, hiking. Or sleeping off Saturdays binge drinking hangover.
Most of it here is very correct. Dogpop in the ski track, Cycling on the country road in rush hour, or standing too close in any queue really. Or start the lawnmower at 8am on a Sunday, oh dear !! And comparing a quick lunch with a kitcat is like comparing a Dodge with a Mercedes! Saying it is just as wise as starting a discussion about religion or politics.
Parking next to me when there is like 40 avaleble parkingspots around.
Germans have a different culture regarding wearing shoes indoors. I lived there for 6 years, and when I once visited a colleague who invited to a party, I took off my shoes by the entrance. I was surprised to learn that everyone kept their shoes on.
The dog(s) always join you while skiing cross country. They need exercise. And skiing is the perfect way to meet their demand for exercise. You cannot control where your dog poops, but you 100% control if you remove the poop if in the track :D When doing classic skiing, your skis run in a pair of countersunk tracks. This makes it a bit hard to avoid the poop
"Noise on Sundays" is actually forbidden. You can do what ever you want as long as nobody can hear you. You may very well pick flowers in your garden, but you cannot use a lawnmower. You can't even chop wood at your cabin if there is the slightest chance that anyone can hear you. Silence on sundays is a right, and you can be fined for breaking it.
Last time someone sat next to me on a bus with 10-20 other empty seats, I farten loudly, stood up and said: No need to panic people, i'm a professional, I do this all the time, please stay in your seats unless you're within the fallout zone.
Yes, biking in the road if you're obstructing traffic IS actually illegal. But I've never met one of them that understand this. If you can't maintain flow of traffic on/in ANY vehicle, the law states you're supposed to get off the road completely or be pulled over. But police don't really have to resources to stop everyone. I have gotten a couple of bicyclists off the road though, thank you dashcam.
Biking on a road that is not signposted as being prohibited is perfectly legal. There is no rule saying you have to move out of the road as a biker to let cars pass. You're just a slower vehicle, like a mopeds that are limited to 45km/h or tractors going 50km/h.
I'd like to know which paragraph you are referring to if there is some kind of requirement for bikers to get out of the way. I'm guessing you're pointing to §3...
@@Gazer75 Korrekt. «Enhver skal ferdes hensynsfullt og være aktpågivende og varsom så det ikke kan oppstå fare eller voldes skade og slik at annen trafikk ikke unødig blir hindret eller forstyrret». Det BETYR, SOM DU LÆRTE PÅ SKOLEN OG NÅR DU TOK FØRERKORT, at du ikke har lov til å kjøre så sakte at du er til hinder for annen trafikk. Dette har du lov til å rapportere om, og jeg har selv ringt politiet og fått vekk syklister som har hindret trafikk.
@@Gazer75 I LITERALLY said OBSTRUCTING traffic is illegal. And cycling at slow speeds and obstructing traffic is ILLEGAL. I have myself called the police on blocking cyclists and gotten them off the road. And you should have been taught this when you took your license.
@@Gazer75 I am amazed I have to explain this in detail, since you should have been taught this when you took your license: it is illegal to be on the road, no matter what, if you're severely slow. The law also applies to slow mopeds. If you took a moped license, you were taught that if you have cars behind you and you're far below the speed limit, are to to dismount your moped, go to the side and let cars pass. It is STAGGERING that you do not know this.
Tror vi har finni den typiske syklisten, folkens.@@Gazer75 har null forståelse av veitrafikkloven. Om man er til hinder for trafikk, så skal man gå ut av veien og la trafikk bak passere.

Here's one more:
- Buy smoked salmon and fry it, just to complain that it's "not very good" (do you put sushi in the microwave? No.)
- Attributing our wealth purely to luck (but not what we did with it, also knowing that we're one of or THE the most volunteerist active nations in the world per capita [think Winter Olympics ratio])
Covid: minimum 1 meter space
Norway: 3 meter away by habit looking at covid and laughing.
As a norwegian I do not enjoy sitting next to people in the buss because it is awkvard. But also because it is small busses so it is difficult to move out of the buss because you have to awkvardly try to avoid making physical or eyecontact with the person 🤣 one of the reasons that I have ended up just using the buss until somebody have gone out of the buss.
The busstop is a place you really do not want to make friends, because there are a lot of people who smoke and stuff there. Sometimes you will find the weirdest stuff at the busstop.
On sunday is rest day, that is the reason the stores are closed and you do not want to get bothered with loud noises.
In Norway we do not wear shoes in the house because the weather outside is quite unpredictable, so it is quite annoying having clumps of snow in the house along with dirt.
Going inside the buss without letting people off is just something we do to show respect and avoid bumping into somebody
I HATE being on busses because everyone is racing to get out first
@@that_one_toca_girl2010 yeah, it it even worse when they just rush off without letting people like for example elderly and people with babys off first.
It is not allowed on a Sunday to mow the lawn or operate motorized equipment such as lawnmowers, you can be reported to the police for doing such things on Sundays and public holidays
Dos on the skitracks is prohibited In Finland as well
1. Norwegians are pretty reserved. We don't appreciate anyone coming up in our face trying to interact. It's not an issue asking which stop to choose if you want to go there and there, what the clock is, directions, etc, but having a full conversation as if you are long time friends is just not something you do with a stranger. You will be looked at like you have just escaped a mental institution.
2. THere is no problem taking medium size + dogs which is used to running with you when going cross country. However I think it's more normal to have your dog with you if you are walking next to the track. In general, always pick up after your dog. that's the least we expect from you as a dog owner other than actually caring for your dog.
3. It's all about respecting each others. Never cut in line in general. You will be looked like you are rude and inconsiderate. You will be called out and you will be judged by people around you.
4. Do I need to explain this one? Again respect people around you, specially people living around you.
5. I get these cyclists are going fast, so they probably shouldn't do it on the sidewalk as you risk hitting and severely injure pedestrians, but try not to do it in the road during rush hours. It just creates dangerous situations for everyone. Safety first guys.
6. Ok, so in general. If there is space, then try to give people their own space. If it's crowded then it is what it is. Do your best to be considerate. Funny note here, during covid lockdown it was said that you never should get any closer than 1-2m to anyone else. It was then joked about in Norway that we really looked forward to the end of this period so that we could go back to the usual 3-5m distancing.
8. It stems from back in the days that people used to go to church on sundays and maybe have gatherings afterwards. It was then considered rude to create any disturbance during this time. We have laws saying you need to quiet down after a certain time everyday, but sunday is the strictest. People will consider you rude to do this on a sunday. Do not be a Karen HOA type of person. Your neighbors will hate you for as long as you live in the same neighborhood.
9. Yeah well it happens and it's annoying.
11. Just don't unless they tell you it's ok to wear them inside. It's considered extremely rude. You show how little you care about others home and cleaning. Just don't...
12. I don't think there is a more iconic chocolate in norway. We love kvikk lunsj and are proud about our traditions around it.
13. Mostly a gag, but ostehøvel is a norwegian invention and every household has one.
14. NOOOOOO... No no no no no nooo.... Don't you f-ing dare forcing your opinion on somebody... I hope those people stump their toes repeatedly every time it stops hurting from the last time.
15. Common sense. Just don't be a d!*k.
Technically, our personal space is just 1.5m, but then you have to consider our personal space's personal space, which is also 1.5m.
Too the question about the dog. Normally the once are out and doing the skiing would have the leash from the waist so the dog could easily go on the other path.
Normally there would be at least two path on the road.
I have seen alot more poop dog lately. Younger people are lazy.
Most of the people would be respectful about the line. They know they could get the murder eye look.
3 meter are way too much considering it's a bus stop? But would say minimum 1 meter if you can (from the covid time).
There are actually written rule that says at holiday peace included sundays it should be quite after 16:00 (4:00 pm).
So you can't be doing any grass cutting, making alot of noise with music etc. everyone should have the right about one silence day.
You would most likely getting alot of hate if you are making alot of noise that day, but most of the neighbors are respectful about this because it's a good rule for everyone.
Something i hate is that dog owner don't respect this rule so much. They could late the dog barking for hours in straight. I really hate that.
or when you live in one and who has the possibility of driving to your house from two roads in, but the neighbor who is on the lower road decides to put a roadblock in front of his house so you have to drive around ONLY because he has a problem with the traffic past the house. Now garbage disposal takes longer because they have to turn around, the postman has to turn half on the route, drive around and post the rest of the mail
Personal space here in Norway: You should be able to flale around with your arms without hitting anything or anyone.
Norwegians are cutting in line all the time. Not so much at the grocery store, but always in the alpine resorts. In the grocery store, I think it is really bad form if there is a long line before the one and only cashier and the last guy in the line cuts in front of everyone as cashier #2 opens another checkout.
That is unless the last guy in line #1 requests another cashier to attend the checkout
As a Norwegian, it is so weird to me that Americans just talk to strangers randomly. Like, i came to the store for chocolate, not for people.
TG we don't have the US gun law as even direct eye contact can be triggering. Even sitting on the opposite row or behind is trouble. The cycling thing is about the entitlement of cyclists in general. Most even use the road when there is a dedicated walk/cycle path next to the road. The personal space thing helped us a lot in lock down times.
Actually, if you're biking faster then walking speed it's technically illegal to use a regular pavement or a pedestrian walkway.
We're *supposed* to use the road then.
Bikers are second class citizens on both regular roads and pedestrian walkways...
Hence why biking paths are important.
Using the main road for a short distance somewhere isn't a big deal, but you should try to avoid being in the way.
I guess it depends from person to person... but rude people is one thing that frustrate me. the bus thing doesn't really make that much sense to me to whine about, instead I would ask politely "excuse me, may I sit here" given that the south / southeaster norway have access to train rides and trams they are more relaxing to take than busses
Kvikk linch can look like a kitkat sure, the reason we get pissed off is because the taste is so different. It’s like watered out chocolate lameness and creamy chocolate goodness. That is why we don’t like the comparison
Irs actualy forbidden by law to make noice on sunday/holydays.
Except for the comments about Sweden and kvikk lunsj, these answers could just as easily have been about Swedes, although if Sweden had been asked, dryer lint would definitely have been on the list. Swedes get very angry when people don't remove the dryer lint in the shared laundry room in apartment buildings. Doesn't Norway have the same system or problem?
Ah yes. Sitting next to you on a bus, the most heinous of crimes
Norwegians love your cannel I am norwegian too. Love your cannel 🥰
I think noise on a sunday os jist like cutting the grass or hovering maybe.. That's germany anyways.. They call the police on ya if you do anything louder than sneeze apparently. 😅
In Norway, it's literally illegal to make noise on Sundays. We don't really follow it that strictly though.
The bus thing is stupid. You sit down if there are no empty seats. Nobody gets irritated if you do that.
12:27
Making noises on Sundays isn't outright illegal like it is in Germany.
But it's considered extremely rude, and the police will absolutely use a interpretations of the law that's far, far more strict when you make noise on Sundays then otherwise, so you might run a foul the regular laws against excessive noise on that day while they might give you a pass during the day on a work day.
13:11
That's common in Germanic countries...
Your neighbors *will* hold you accountable if you don't sort your garbage, are noisy, don't do your duties etc...
14:38
There *are* contexts when it's socially acceptable to do so...
16:38
I'm willing to concede some similarity, but they're ultimately different.
We definitely need to get you some.

If the store open a new line, it is free fore all
I would defenently let them know, if they tryed cutting in line 😎
Some of this they just tell you for fun.
Some people just let they’re dog poop everywhere and just go like it never have popped and not picking it up at all that’s make my blood boil as a Norwegian
Many of us hate "dugnad"😢
We have no problem interacting, if there's a reason or if it's our own choice ;-P
sitting down next to you on an otherwise empty bus infringing needlessly on your personal space is one thing. another is the fear that the new person will whisper at your or hand you things, involving you in deep cover shit. :P
As a Norwegian, DO NOT cut in line in front of me. IUf I see that you have less to pay for and I say it's ok. Then it's ok, But don't just walk into the middle of the line. ;)
Norwegian do bring their dogs skiing 😂
3:12 yes but they are enot skiing they are just running
KitKat came first. Freia did copy the KitKat with the Kvikk Lunsj. The problem arises when people say this after having tasted both. KitKat tastes horrible in comparison.
Helidags fred, hangover day
Responsible dog owners PICK UP or bury the poop down away so that it does not become visible or people run over it. But ofcorse minority ruins for the dog owners that cleans up after the dog.
There isnt much i can say I really hate, but dogowners are on top of my small list!! They are way to arrogant and disrespectful to other people, letting their dog run loose and poo everywhere without picking up after them. And they dont understand that people could hate their dogs, or being allergic to them as well, and dont want contact with their dogs. So yes, dogowners are worse than Karens!
Cutting in line is one of the thing I hate the most. All I have to say about that is, have some respect for other peoples time.
I have a feeling that many of these comments were written by teenagers or young adults, so there are a fair few pieces of exaggeration.
Norwegian time xD

you look into it way to much

Also cross-country has always been more established than downhill and it also has more events.

Um, Tyler, if one Norwegian cuts in line, that's the equivalent of about 65 Americans cutting in line.
That's pretty true if you consider the overweight Americans. Americans are also #1 obnoxious and Karen tourists. I live in a tourist attraction and despite Americans being the minority in numbers here, it's always them that makes issues.
Nah, one American is as fat as 65 Norwegians, you got it the other way around.
For that statement to be correct, it requires that the USA has exactly the same number of stores as Norway for a population 65 times larger.
I'm glad to see your math, logic and experience of reality is still operating at an extremely low level.
You basically just said that - on average - for every time someone cuts in line in front of me (a Norwegian), 65 (!!) people cut in front of you (an American).
You just called America 65x times worse than Norway : ))))
