How do you open this to slide your name in?

  1. You don’t, your name is Friedland now, like thousands of other norwegians. Welcome to the gang!

  2. I have no idea.
    One time we had sellers at our door, and before they left, they asked “why does it say friedland on all the doors?” i looked them straight in the eye an said, “this whole county is full of inbreeders”. They left pretty quickly

  3. Funny thing, when i was young and was selling newspapers door to door every sunday, i was really confused on why so many people in my area had the name Friedland

  4. On a more serious note I think you actually have to first remove the black part and then take out the screws for the rest or something.

  5. Gonna be honest. This actually creeped me out. I’ve been in a new apartment in Trondheim for 3 months and have the same buzzer and still cannot figure out how to change it. So have just left the name in there.

    And what’s the name in it? Yes, Friedland.

    I’m guessing the whole Friedland family does this for jokes all over Norway.

  6. Pull off the black cover to access the screws to get it down from the wall. Then pull out the plastic plug behind the namesign.

    Be warned though, changing the name will make all the other Friedlands look at you like you have leprosy.

  7. Change your name to Friedland. A number of people have done it before.

    Or:
    Pull the black cover straight out.
    You’ll then see two small screws. Unscrew them.
    The box is now free, pull it out.
    From the back, the backside of the name tag is now accessible. If it’s stuck, use the tip of a knife if similar.
    Replace the name tag.

  8. Take it out for dinner, be charming, take it home, be a bit more charming, take off the cover, spit (if needed), slide it in there.

  9. In my first few days as a door to door salesman in Norway I was becoming more and more concerned about how many people in my city were calles Freidland. When my colleague told me it was the manufacturer it made more sense

  10. Haha, as a city boy i made a fool of myself by asking the parents of my village girlfriend if the Friedlands who used to live there were the same Friedlands who used to live in the house of my uncle.

  11. People don’t change their doorbell signs in this country.

    Source: I changed mine in my first flat in Oslo, that I moved out of 7 years ago, and my name is still ok there 😅
