We're not stashing anything. Both good beer and ugly girls (we know how you Swedes tick) are fully and openly available to you. We keep the REALLY good beer and the pretty girls for ourselves, obviously.

Wish to Thread you'd keep your ugly toes to yourself as well.

Two in a row. The gods must be pleased with me. [:D]

Agreed.

ETA: It's so totally out our cultural reference. I have difficulties to even consider someone not drinking coffee.

Hey, they haven't evicted me from the state of Washington after twenty plus years of refusing coffee, so I can handle whatever you want to call me...[:'(]
Ok then. I'll let you off with a "weirdo". [:'(][;)]

Oh, I'm used to that one!!!

Yes.

The scandinavian countries are "world champions" when it comes to per capita coffee consumption. The Finns are first, Sweden second, Norway third and Denmark fourth.

Source: European Coffee Report 2009

ETA: Slightly different order (but older data) at Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_coffee_consumption_per_capita

ETA2: These quotes describes our coffee culture quite well; Comments taken from a review of one of Larssons' books where he asked the same question as you did KeM



What do y'all consider someone who doesn't drink coffee?

English? [:D]


Well... my dad used to fly the Union Jack on the Fourth of July...

Norwegians [X(][:D] [:'(]

Call Center in Norway

(I provide internet support over the phone. I am the only qualified technician working today. I also happen to be female.)

Me: “Welcome to [company name] internet support. My name is [name]. How can I help you?”

Customer: “Oh, hello sweetheart. I didn’t realize I’d reached the reception. Would you please connect me to internet support?”

Me: “This is internet support. What can I do for you?”

Customer: “I want help with a technical problem. I can’t talk to you. I want to talk to a man!”

Me: “Sir, I can assure you that I’ll be able to help you with your technical problem. I am the qualified technician here today.”

Customer: “You are a girl! You have no clue how to help me! This is man stuff. I demand to speak with a man!”

(This continues for ten minutes. The customer gets more and more aggravated, and starts yelling nasty comments. I give up, and connect him to my coworker, who sits next to me. My coworker is male.)

Coworker: “Welcome to [company name] internet support. My name is [name]. How can I help you?”

Customer: “Finally, a man! My internet is so unstable these days; I can’t seem to stay on it! It takes forever to load and the speed is horrible!”

Coworker: “Sir, I see the problem, and I’m sending a report. It will be fixed on Monday.”

Customer: “What? It’s Saturday! Why do you have to wait until Monday? I want it fixed now!”

Coworker: “Well, we would need a qualified technician to log into the system to fix your line. It’s Saturday, so there is only one qualified technician working.”

Customer: “Get him to fix it now! I demand to speak with him!”

Coworker: “Sir, you have already spoken to her.”

Customer: “Wait. Her?”

Coworker: “Yes. You spoke to our only qualified technician earlier today. You yelled profanities at her, and demanded to speak to a man.”

Customer: “So, I’ll be lucky if my internet is up again on Monday?”

Coworker: “You’ll be lucky if you have internet at all.”

I tend to agree. I drink a LOT of coffee each day.
