I don't see a nutshell. Just some random people at a bus stop. I have to say it's odd how close they are in the middle to one another. Very strange.

Yes, the shelter seems crowded.

Or midnight. Equally dark really.

It looks like they're all hoping the bus doors will stop right in front of them. I might be wrong, but I think some of them have passed the bike lane, because the bus is holding for red light. Then obviously they'll spread out because it's always a lottery where the bus doors will stop. Well, that's what I used to think..

I used to ride the bus every day, and every single day this woman would be there at the bus stop, waiting for the same bus as me. Every day. Nothing weird about that, but I can't say the same about her. She was very weird. The bus would come, and it would almost every time hold for red light. While it waited for the green light, the woman and I would cross the bike lane and wait on the other side. I would often be miles away from the bus door, when the bus came and stopped. But not her. Every single day, she would cross the bike lane and stand exactly where the bus doors would land. It was crazy. First I thought it was just pure luck, but then I started to notice she wouldn't be standing at the same place every time, yet the bus doors would come to her as she knew, and I was so confused how she could know, but she did. And I started to stand next to her. It was amazing. I was so impressed about how she knew where the doors would be every time, and I really wanted to ask her, but for some reason I never did. I suppose I was speechless, just witnessing her unnatural superhuman powers in silence. This went on for a year, but one day, the bus came, stopped for a red light, like it usually did. And this day the woman went further down the street before she crossed, than she has ever done. But I followed her anyways, because I trusted her. She's been far down the street before, and she was always right. Then green light. The bus came. But the woman kept walking! I started to worry, but I kept following closely behind her. Then the bus stopped. Fuck, it was nowhere near us, she had failed. Then the most confusing thing ever; she crossed the street. And that was it. I missed the bus, and she was gone. I never saw her again.

She was playing the long con. Lulled you into trusting her bus-whispering instincts over the course of the year, then WHAMMO! She led to a location from which you were sure to miss the bus.

Much respect.

        See, people tend to think this is about social conventions, when it's really a basic safety issue. When people stand this close together, it takes just a little bit of ice underneath the snow to turn the whole scene into a human domino chain.

        And then you have to make apologetic noise as you get up, without making eye contact. Fuck that.

          Posted this before, but I saw these "benches" in a park in Helsinki last year: http://i.imgur.com/MYA2lHO.jpg?1

          [–]Finlandpunaisetpimpulat 177ポイント178ポイント  (29子コメント)

          There's a reason for benches/chairs like that and it's not antisocial behaviour. We don't like alcoholics sleeping on every bench. A few years ago we got benches with a metal bar sticking in the middle. Three people can sit on the bench, but sleeping woudln't work. That's the idea with these one man benches.

          [–]The Netherlandsfopmudpd 92ポイント93ポイント  (14子コメント)

          Makes sense. We have these at most of our train stations.

              It's kind of sad in one way that we can't let the people that are worst of even sleep on a bench.

              [–]Spainredlightsaber 77ポイント78ポイント  (1子コメント)

              In actuality, it's about proper places of sleeping. Nobody in Finland (or Sweden for that matter) who really wants to have a warm bed has to sleep on the street. Pretty much the o ly requirement is to ask to be let into the shelter, follow some basic norms (schedules and such), and like, not kill anyone, generally be violent or obnoxious, or consume drugs or alcohol while inside the shelter.

              Considering anyone who has a drug/alcohol withdrawal problem can also simply walk into a hospital to get help (both immediate for the deprivation and an inclusion into an addictions programme), what we're left with are people who simply don't want the help, or are unwilling to pay the small price not to sleep on the streets, who'd sleep in benches.

              And from that perspective, expecting these people not to use up useful urban furniture seems far more reasonable.

              [–]DenmarkDefenestraight 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

              Wouldn't it also discourage people who would normally find a nice bench to sleep on when they are drunk as hell and it's -20C outside?

                                I agree. If you're not interested in any social interaction at the moment, then why stand closer? If you're interested in listening to breathing noises, detect sneak farts or snooping at phone screens, then by all means stand closer.

                                I got put off snooping at phone screens forever when one time I saw a cute girl next to me on the bus sending a text to someone asking if he had been a bad boy and wanted to be punished. Followed by suggesting that she poops on him once she gets home.

                                I mean I know people are into that, but as someone that's not, yeah not gonna read any further.

                                  I don't think that most people from any given country actually wants strangers to breathe on their necks. It's just that we don't have much of a choice in a crowded metropolis. Take for instance the city I live in, Bucharest. This is how a tram station looks like on a good day. None of those people have a fetish to smell construction workers' armpits after a day of work. But such is life.

                                      But deep down you don't want it that way, well, maybe you do, but 5 years in Norway taught me norwegians, deep down, hate that shit, they always tell me how much they love their time in [insert friendly country here] because "People treat me like I matter" or "People treat me like family".

                                      There's a reason swedes/norwegians act like that when wasted, that's their true self, that the version of themselves they want to be all the time... Forgive me when I say this, but both countries look like a gigantic clustefuck of anxiety disorders.

                                      I recently made a big grin when looking at a Swedish 19th century book of woodworking patterns (back when snickarglädje was all the rage). It suggested the projects in it would be good work for the idle farm workers during the long winter evenings that "might otherwise be used for a lot of unnecessary talk."

                                      Most Nordic thing ever, and I like it. Not that people shouldn't be allowed to be social, but just the set of values that respects doing stuff over idle talk.

When we arrived in Barcelona I was in a bus filled with Spanish people to the terminal and everyone was talking. I had to laugh at how different it was.

I was waiting and waiting for a train and there was only one person in addition to me on that train station, which was also getting closed permanently in March, but we could not talk neither about the train that is late nor the station that will be closed.

                                              What happens is that people will eventually start cooperating and talking if something unusual happens. For example, when the bus was very late, about 1 hour into the waiting, people started to talk to each other, like coming together to solve the problem. Not that we could do anything but complain. The bus finally showed up after 2,5 hours.

                                              It was also winter and cold.

                                              I love how this is the number one conversiation at every bus stop ever. If the bus is one minute you will have to talk about it to the nearest person.

                                                I once had a woman talking to me while waiting for the bus, in the middle of Swedish nowhere. First, I thought she was drunk, but turned out she was an American.

                                                            This is why terrorists don't strike in Finland. For one suicide bomber you get two civilians killed tops, it's just not worth it.

                                                                          Last week I was at a party and asked if any of the people had had problems with this kind of greeting when they had been abroad.

                                                                          A Chilean girl then told about her first trip to Finland.

                                                                          When she arrived, she started cheek kissing the people waiting for her.

                                                                          After kissing the third person she recognized some awkwardness and asked: "How often do you kiss for a greeting?"

                                                                          Then she saw the sheer horror on the faces of the Nordics.

                                                                          [–]Hungarypepperboon 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

                                                                          Interesting. We Hungarians seem to be a mixture of these. With strangers we are similar to Nordic countries, barely acknowledging the existence of the other, not much smalltalk (except for the elderly), but with non-strangers we kiss on the cheek (2 or 3 times) if one of the people is a girl/woman, and often put hands around shoulders etc with friends. It's like there are two modes of operation.

                                                                          [–]gelastes 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

The finnish soldiers had a natural ability to form a skirmish line due to their innate fear of social interaction. Come to think of it, guess thats why the finns had such a high level of marksmanship. "Random Finnish soldier: Shit, I think that russian guy is coming over to talk to me!!, I don't have anything to say to him, I can't even speak russian! Oh my, this is going to be so extremly akward! Hmm, I better blow him up with my machine gun so I don't have to talk to him, yeah I better do that!"

Of course, there are also cultural reasons, but the genes aren't helping. I'm short on time to find more, but I'm sure there's newer research available.

I mean, Slavs, Germans, Turks, some leftover Mongols and Italians, Gypsies, who knows what else... All contributed to the glorious Magyar essence. And this is what we inherited from our even more glorious true ancestors? Apart from the language, that is.

Southern Europe and most of western European rank lower than the Nordics, with the exception of France ranking highly. That is using the World Health Organization numbers.

In some Christian countries where religion still has social ramifications suicides are under reported. The church will not bury someone who killed himself (as suicide is a major sin) and suicide is also a major stigma for the family. Thus the relatives just say that it was an accident. The church knows it but the formalities are upheld, the police doesn't care unless there is suspicion of a crime. Official death certificate says something generic.

                                                                                                  The 3 people I know for certain that they killed themselves were classified as "accidental deaths". 2 in Greece and 1 in Italy.

                                                                                                                It was rainy day and I walked to the dus stop. I saw some guy under the shelter, so naturally I did not invade his personal space. I started smoking a cigarette 5m from him, which I thought was enough.

                                                                                                                After that I saw how this guy moved away from shelter, and I guess it was because my cigarette (sorry for that). Now we both stood in the rain. I would love to go under the shelter, but it felt so wrong since that guy moved from there because of me.

                                                                                                                We waited 10 minutes in the rain, shelter was free whole time. Most finnish moment ever

                                                                                                                [–]French Americankervinjacque 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

                                                                                                                Personal space is highly variable, and can be due to cultural differences and personal experiences. The United States shows considerable similarities to that in northern and central European regions, such as Germany, the Benelux, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. The main difference is that residents of the United States of America like to keep more open space between themselves and their conversation partners (roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) compared to 2 to 3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) in Europe).[10] Greeting rituals tend to be the same in these regions and in the United States, consisting of minimal body contact which often remains confined to a simple handshake.

                                                                                                                Those living in a densely populated places tend to have a lower expectation of personal space. Residents of India or Japan tend to have a smaller personal space than those in the Mongolian steppe, both in regard to home and individual spaces. Difficulties can be created by failures of intercultural communication due to different expectations of personal space.[5]

                                                                                                                [–]FinlandDoile 20ポイント21ポイント  (7子コメント)

I don't have talk to strangers just because some idiot thinks it's not okay to stay silent when sitting together in a bus. I don't really care what that person does for a living or how his/hers day has went.

                                                                                                                      The nearest to the main bus door win.
