I mean the fact that people wait patiently in lines has nothing to do with any rules or regulations. It just means we're not animals! We are capable of waiting a few seconds! It's funny that people think that Swedes are so organized because we can wait in lines. I honestly, think that's what separates humans from animals, we are capable of waiting in lines. Yes, I'm joking, even though, I think it's crazy that in many other countries they need to putup "fences" in order to make people wait in line. And I never line my groceries up neatly and nice with the bar code facing the scanner. I don't think I need to make checkout girl/guy's job any easier, you know. Maybe it comes down to the fact that I'm not the kind of person who pays attention to most rules and regulations. Maybe they're there but I don't really care about them so I never notice them?
