- You know at least 10 Abba songs by heart.
- You are prone to stand in line without complaining.
- When you don't really consider silence a problem in social situations.
- You consider the question "how are you?" as a question that when posed, needs to be answered with a honest and thorough explanation of your mental health.
- You take your shoes off when entering a house, and don't get why non-Swedes find that funny.
- You don't consider a congregation of trees being a "real" forrest unless it takes at least 20 minutes to drive through it.
- You use metric system and really don't get why there are people out there who don't.
- You can debate for hours the difference between the taste of the pink, the green and the white car in a pack of Ahlgrens bilar.

- The Danish think you understand Danish.
- Ultimatley, when spoken, you don't really understand Danish.
- You have been accused of being from Switzerland. Repeatedly.
- You find it adorable when people from other countries get excited about a few milimetres of snow that only stays on the ground for a few hours.

- All English you ever learnt in Sweden came from American sitcoms.
- You think that Robert Gustavsson is the funniest man alive, period.
