You know you have been in Denmark too long when…
- You think there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
- You accept that you will have to queue to obtain a queue number.
- Inside your front door is beginning to resemble a shoe shop.
- When a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
- a. he is drunk
- b. he is insane
- c. he is American
- d. he is all of the above
- Silence is fun.
- It no longer seems excessive to spend DKK 800 on alcohol in a single night.
- You know that “religious holiday” means, “let’s drink a lot”.
- You use “hhmmm” as conversation filler.
- The word “yes” is an intake of breath.
- You have only two facial expressions, smiling or blank.
- You buy your own drink at the bar even when you are with a group of people.
- Traditional dinners may not necessarily mean a cooked meal.
- You forget how to open canned beer.
- Can’t remember when to say “please” and “excuse me”.
- You will leave a pub if you can’t find a seat.
- You know the rules of handball.
- You start to believe that if it weren’t for Denmark’s efforts, the world would probably collapse pretty soon.
- You find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than the name of the wine.
- You know the meaning of life has something to do with the word “hyggelig”.
