Dane here. Just visitited Stockholm with my family. Wonderful trip. Anyway… I've always told my children to use their phones without annoying people around them with sounds from the phone. To my surprise, many people in Sweden talk in their phone with the speaker phone on, so that everyone around them can hear them. As posting this, a young guy is casually talking with someone, and its pretty damn loud.
Whats going on? Am I to sensitive? 😅

  1. some idiot next to me on the subway got mad at me when i said something into his call that was mostly bullshit anyways.

  2. Usually it’s “Swedes”, not Swedes. No intent to sound racist at all, it’s just facts. Most Swedes can’t even stand close to one another waiting for the bus, let alone use speakerphone on public transports.

    Edit: on the other hand, Stockholm is built different. They have no shame.

    Edit2: insider information told me that they do this to keep the danes out. /s

  3. I don´t think they are aware of it themselves, but yes, we hate them as well.

  4. No, these people are universally hated equally by everyone. The worste are the 20ish something year olds that holds their fucking telephone at their waste and the volume at max and almost scream to have a conversation.

    “NO NO ITS PRETTY QUIET IN HERE I CAN HEAR YOU”

  5. Its big with the “new swedes” that likes to get attention, it doesnt matter what their current task is but it always include being a total douche to their surrounding.

    Their biggest goal in life is a fancy jacket, latest iphone and sweatpants with ugly shoes.

  6. Happens worldwide. As an example, I was in Hong Kong last month and saw it there. Nothing to do with Swedes, “new Swedes” or “Swedes” as the dogwhistling racists put it in the comments. I’ve seen enough ethnic Swedes here doing it to know that’s just rubbish.

    Basically, it is people being idiots and copying reality TV. They are too thick to realise that the reason it is done on reality TV is so that the microphone used for recording can also pick up the conversation.

  7. It’s “new swedes” and swedes “inspired” by “new swedes”

  8. I cant do this cause my phone’s speaker function randomly stopped working. It wasnt me I can tell you.

  9. I have crowned a new word for these ”people”, ”högtalartelefonskrigare”.

  10. They’re morons. There’s no excuse. I think this is what the idiots at SD meant when they spoke about “dålig vandel” and it might be the only thing we agree upon.

  11. Skriv på dansk champ, svensker og danskere kan altså godt forstå hindanden med lidt god vilje, særligt skriftligt

  12. Der er jævnt mange i Danmark der gør det samme. Det er så dumt.

  13. When you see Swedes talking loud in phone you are more then welcome to relive Stockholms blodbad on them.
