In Sweden, people don’t work overtime.
This is a normal situation: you are in the middle of an important communication with the manager of an organization, like a tourist agency or something similar. And then, at 6 pm, you receive an automatic reply that says, “The working day is over, we’ll continue tomorrow.” The local people respect this time and their private lives.
And if a company has a 45-minute lunch break, the employees will spend exactly 45 minutes on that break. They follow the rules. By the way, the offices are mindful, not only about the moral, but also about the physical comfort of their workers. For example, next to many keypads, there are shelves for people’s cups.

I wish I was born in Scandinavia, the most civilized and evolved region with the highest functioning governments. I guess that’s why it’s ranked as the best place in the world for regular citizens with the most people-centric government programs.

#9: "When they found out that eating candy too often was bad for your teeth, the lördagsgodis tradition was born: the Swedish people could eat as many sweets as they wanted, but only one day a week."
I just can't imagine the pervasive cultural mindset necessary for an entire country to permit their government to regulate every individual's eating of candy.
This rubs my spirit of rugged individualism the wrong way - just like when NYC Mayor Bloomberg tried to ban the selling of large-sized soft drinks. Who gave these nanny-state politicians the idea that they had any authority over such things? That's what parents are for. Damn, Sweden, have a Snickers bar.
