Love Swedes, they're family and all, but I've barely any fucking patience for them.
Danes kinda have this too, heavily Swedish leaning, but slightly more chauvinistic, notoriously sarcastic. Neither Denmark or Sweden brooks a sufferer of tall poppy syndrome. It made itself a part of my upbringing, so I kinda feel bad acknowledging some truth with an anecdotal exposé. The Dutch are great they're a "say what you mean , mean what you say" kinda folk
