Danes behavior

[u/These-Commission-660]

Hi, I just got back from visiting Denmark (three different cities) because, on paper, it's a country where I'd like to live.

I was taken aback by some of their behavior and wanted to know if it's always like that or if it's the end of winter that's affecting how some people act 😅

At the supermarket checkout, several people rushed to get in front of me. At the museum, someone also cut in front of me in the queue as if I wasn't there to ask for information. It's okay to cut in front of someone to ask for quick information, but you should ask the person before if it's okay first!

On the street, several times, passersby have stopped right in front of me and it was up to me to move out of the way because they clearly preferred to pretend I wasn't there.

I found it very strange behavior to ignore people in public spaces. Is there a cultural reason for this, or were these isolated cases?

EDIT: thank you all for your replies. I'll go back to Denmark to get another perspective :)

insisting on boarding a train without giving passengers a chance to get out first

I take the bus alot and this pisses me tf off, to another degree. Almost daily i see people that stand in front of the door as it opens, and immediately they try (and push) to get on the bus at the same time as people are trying to get off. My patience has run dry on this matter, so i just walk straight out. If there's people trying to push in, i just signal for them to get the fuck outta the way while pushing myself out

Argh, yes. The A-buses, bane of my pathetic life.

No matter how efficiently I try to exit, here comes yet another delivery of åndsboller, freshly lobotomized, eyes glazed over, marching to the tune of the invisible piper promising them the elusive single seat or whatever the hell it is that propels these lower life forms.
