Queue

This is a bit long, but it's quite funny and very very true. I love Swedes, but this is really one thing I step back from and sort of...laugh at.

The Swedish word of the day is "" which means "line" or "queue" and is pronounced "kuh".

  1. That is a funny article! Very interesting! I guess I wouldn't mind standing in queue if it was fair, but that thing about throwing a coat or bag on a chair to 'save' a place while you stand in a long line is crazy. Every country has their own unique customs and it is fun to experience them! Thanks for the link!

  2. You know how much I love to wait in line for anything. I would be grumpy all the time, wouldn't I. Maybe an enterprising person could start a business over there. A business to hire people to hold your place in queue and you could show up just before they call your number. You could call it the "Queue People". Hmmmm! Maybe I am on to something. ;-)
    Love,
