Finns as well. You could probably take a friend and form a 2 person queue on the sidewalk and after a while you'll have other people joining the queue too. Add free plastic buckets and the queue goes around the block.

Kiss people on both cheeks as a greeting! Though even as an Italian I will say I never really liked it lol

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As an English I am horrified at the idea

[–] Lycaon@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Understandable! I lived in the UK for a few years and will say I really appreciated how mindful everyone was of personal space there!

As an Asian that makes me squeamish lol

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

Some people do that here too, and I refuse to uphold that traditional way of doing things. Especially since it's gendered

I don't even like it when people greet me with a hug but this sounds absolutely horrible.

My Dutch family does this but it's more air kisses than a peck on the cheeks.

We distribute milk in plastic bags.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Whhaaa...? How does that work?

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

They take a cow, put it in a plastic bag, mush it around a bit, and then pull out the cow. Instant bagged milk.

Go to a house maintenance store for a sausage sizzle for breakie

I've heard that drinking milk during meals is weird to some people.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is it common where you're from?

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In Finland, yeah. I believe Finns also have below average amount of lactose intolerance. Ability to drink milk is how our ancestors survived over the winter.

Ahhhhh

Drive trucks to the capital, honk horns, soak in hot tubs and wave American flags to protest their lack of "freedoms"

Shoes off before going indoors, even at businesses

They put apple sauce in their pasta.

This... And not all Switzerland agrees.

The German speaking part add the apple sauce. The French speaking part wonder who hurt them in their youth. The Italian speaking part hesitate between throwing holy water and burn the whole house down.

Crikey where is this?

It's certainly interesting
