you know you are from sweden when (part1)

... seeing a young woman with lit candles stuck to her head no longer disturbs you
... you don't find it at all strange or unimaginative that the day after christmas day is called "another day christmas" , and the day after easter is called "another day easter"
... you associate 3 pm on christmas eve with donald duck, and vice versa
... you've been forced to perform the "frog dance" skipping around a palm tree (midsommar)
... you spend every midsummer night in silence, looking for seven different types of flowers beneath seven different wooden fences
... when you associate thursday with pea soup and pancakes
... you look forward all year for august when you get to gather your friends, put on silly paper hats, drink vodka, sing and eat crayfish
... easter means decorating some twigs in a vase with coloured feathers, eating herring and painted eggs
... you find it perfectly normal to dress up like a witch at easter and knock on random neighbours doors in hope of getting some sweets
... you know that real easter eggs are not made of chocolate, they're made of paper and filled with pick'n'mix (lösgodis)
... you eat minimum ten buns with almond paste and whipped cream on “fettisdagen” and claim that it just doesn't taste right if the lid isn't triangular
... at cafés, you find it completely normal walking all the way to the counter to order and then carrying it yourself to the table rather than being waited on
... you find it difficult to breathe if your internet shuts down, even just for a little while
... you secretly love the eurovision song contest to pieces
... you are prone to stand in line without complaining
... after having realized that someone is standing on your foot in the underground, you think that the best idea is to not say anything at all or maybe cough or nod a little in order to attract the attention of the person standing on your foot
... you actually do care if your mobile phone meets the fashion standard
... you get annoyed by people standing to the left in the escalator
... you get on the train before letting people off because the train might leave without you
... you find it perfectly normal to book a washing machine room several weeks in advance - and no matter what happens on the day (marriage proposal, spontaneous partying, celebrity sighting etc…) you will do your washing on time, damnit
... you get really stressed and confused at the post office abroad when they don't use “the thing that you take the numbered ticket from that tells you when it’s your turn”
... you spend most of your summers in the park playing a game with wooden sticks, and when telling confused non-swedes about it you insist that it's the best game ever
... you refer to people from the capital by stating the first two digits in their phone number (08:or)
... you answer the phone by saying your first name
