Norsk personlige plass
Norwegian Personal Space
If you bump into a stranger accidentally, the polite thing to do is ignore the other person and carry on with your life.
- If you get bumped into, the polite thing to do is pretend it didn’t happen and get on with your life.
- There is no such thing as personal space, if it is the same space someone else needs to get past you for any reason.
- Occupying someone else’s personal space, on the other hand, is a mortal sin. In all places. At all times. Including on public transport, or a rock concert.
- When at any concert, from hard rock to classical:
Physical contact with other humans should be avoided at all costs.
Dancing is strictly prohibited if it cannot adhere to the no contact rule. Nodding your head a little is okay.
