The worst case scenario in scandinavia when boarding a bus is that it is exactly half full, which obligatory means every double seat is occupied by exectly 1 person, and you must choose which one to annoy (including annoying yourself, if you’re Scandinavian because you too want to sit alone). Standing works, but you must feel shame all the time.
A Finn once described the … intensity of ‘perkele’ when used as an insult/curse to me, as: ‘it is worse than ‘horseshit’, it is worse than ‘god damn!’, it is like you or it are worse and worth less and more despicable than flaming diarrhea from Satan himself’.

Second way to make friends in Finland: tell them how much you’re enjoying your visit to Scandinavia.
Finland is the canton of Scandinavia I like second most after Sweden so far.
Though I must say Poland was nice too.
I prefer standing, even on an empty bus. Call me shameless.
I will call you Seumus!
And I will call her Shamus and hand her a Guiness!
I was about to say this is the perfect manual to getting stabbed in that country. ^^
I don’t think we do the stabbing thing much anymore. We’ve lost our puukkojunkkari heritage, sadly.

This was the first time I heard (saw) someone say it to a Finn and I was like wow what the heck just happened?
This user was pretty chill and then BAM! Insta-rage!
Perkele is the only finish word I know thanks to Robbaz
It’s also handy for scaring away bears
This is why Russia doesn’t invade Finland. Just this guy.
