Etiquette? Common courtesy?

[u/[deleted]]

This may offend people and get down voted. It is what it is. Do Norwegians not learn common courtesy or street etiquette when they are kids? For real. So sick of this. Always stopping and standing in the middle of an aisle or sidewalk to talk, fix a bag, etc. Don't care about the people behind you. When they're walking down a sidewalk, they just walk in the middle, on the wrong side, walk 2 or 3 abreast, not caring about people walking towards you. Don't let other people off public transport before you push your way on. The last straw was tonight when I was at Meny, and a lady didn't even let me finish my order before she was pushing her way into my self checkout. I go to grab my receipt with my barcode to get out, she looks at me and goes "Ja". You guys don't give a shit about anyone but yourself, for real. This needs to be said

I’m Norwegian and I don’t mind. But it’s kinda hilarious that you say we are the worst in the world at this.

Countries that are better at this: England, Ireland, Germany, China, Iran, Morocco, Poland, the Baltic states, Turkey, Serbia, Slovakia, Czechia, Russia, Austria, Slovenia, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, US, Ukraine, Belgium, Scotland, Wales... (the list goes on).

Countries equally shitty at this: the Netherlands and Danmark (from the top of my head).

So maybe you are right, and it is actually a tie.

I have been to over half of those countries, both rural and big city, and the fact you're saying those places are more polite in public tells me you're full of Shit and have never been there.

(the list goes on).

Well if you're already going to lie you should definetly just complete the list lol.

Every country in the UK will stop way more in the middle of an already much more narrow sidewalk and have a chat, fix bag, or just liter in general unless they feel like leaning up against something.

They're not doing it out of rudeness, but because they have just as much right to that space as you do. Again; nobody owes you their space just because you find it annoying to walk around them.

The south American countries you listed are laughable...

China even more so...

Got Poland right, and 'some' Baltic countries.

I mean, I don't even know why I'm telling you because you're obviously clueless 🤣

Go off peanut king, tell me the other 50 countries you frequent! Do they also kneel when you pass them on the street?
