you know you are from sweden when (part3)

... you find it normal to have to go to a special store that is owned by the government, that's only open during daytime to buy a bottle of wine, or other alcoholic beverages
... you line all the shopping up with the barcode towards you to help the cashier
... you know all the words to the “emil i lönnerberga” theme song by heart and as a child he was your hero
... you consider "schlager" being a proper music genre
... you get into an argument explaining to non-Swedish people that zlatan ibrahimovic ACTUALLY IS from sweden
... you consider taking a cruise ship to tallin or helsinki a valid excuse to get completely off your face and act like an utter fool as soon as the ship leaves port
... you truly believe that switching from SEK to euro would take away the joy of being abroad and annoying the shop clerk when you are trying to figure out which coin is which
... the thought taking shots of “snaps” without singing has never occurred to you
... you don't find it weird at all to get undressed in a locker room with unknown people
... if you are a swedish girl, you don't find the trousers worn by swedish guys being ridiculously tight but rather find loose fit trousers terribly boring and soooooo unfashionable, unless they are really baggy and attached to a skater or snowboarder
... you shove your pants into your socks even when you’re inside, and there is not snow/rain anywhere in sight
