Sounds pretty similar to US stereotypes towards Eastern Europeans, who are “always grumpy” and “rude”.
Comment on Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?
jbrains@sh.itjust.works 10 hours agoFinnish people are stereotyped to sound monotone, enunciate clearly, speak directly, and tersely. This makes them seem unfriendly.
And then they expect you to stay 3 m away from them at all times, which intensifies their seeming unfriendliness.
At least these are the memes.

When we go to a hotel, we prefer the Finnish level of service: make everything work and otherwise leave us alone.
