Actually the Swedes are a closed people, in the sense that any kind of even slight casualness is frowned on. In the US, UK etc. people may talk of their families at work, but in Sweden it is taboo. it is taboo to talk of anything personal except to the closest of the close.

Mr. Din is right that they were rude when

Waiting in line, a young blonde mother dropped one of her baby’s possessions.

I asked my wife to retrieve it, by now assuming the mother wouldn’t take kindly to me.

She didn’t say thank you.
