Yeah that's the joke.
Or did I miss some sort of elaborate joke-joke?
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.
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 just stand then. Same thing when it is almost half full and I know there's going to be more people on one of the later stops before I get out, so that I don't take up anyone's seat. I always board buses and trains last for this reason.
Screw whoever thought of installing the 4 seat sections that face each other.
Especially a problem in trains where that's the majority. You get 1 person per 4 seats.
Example:
Fantastic for a family of four though, you block off any intruders possible aggression!
At that point you just pull one of those little red hammers off the wall and leave through a window.
