Working in Norway Etiquette? Common courtesy?
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

One incident that happened to me at work that made me go insane was when I was walking with a full tray in hand,and not the normal one that restaurants typically use,but the bigger one,and there was an elderly individual that was infront of me.I waited a bit until he saw me and heard me,but not only did he not care about me being behind me,but as soon as he saw me he had the same reaction ‘Oh Ja’
After that I understood that this country has some really rude people
