Beware, Your Norwegian Neighbour Bites

  • 5 remarkable stories about what Norwegian neighbors can do to each other. On the surface Norway is a peaceful country. Norwegians are shy, introverted and restrained. A harmonious country to move to. But beware. When it comes to the neighbour, Norwegians lose it completely. Suddenly your Norwegian neighbour clicks violently. Because Norwegians are the people where most people have been in a nasty and long-lasting conflict with their neighbour. But the conflicts can also be hilarious, completely crazy, over the top and exciting to follow. As long as it's not about your neighbour.
    In this sarcastic video, the Yourway2Norway team examines the dark, passive-aggressive side of a culture that is unable to express its feelings, lacks social competence and feels its existence threatened by, yes, precisely its neighbour.
    Ronald and Mads are located in an idyllic and spring-like Oslo. In one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods to live in. There they go through 5 of Norway's most famous neighbourhood quarrels, while also explaining why it happens. This is a typical self-deprecating Yourway2Norway story that aims to educate everyone about Norway behind the facade, while also giving you a good laugh. Enjoy the ride!
    Music: epidemic sound.

    Which "war" or conflict did you find most shocking or interesting - and why?
    1: Taking action (sawing a house in two)
    2: The Psycho (forcing his neigbors to hide - and sneak in different entrances)
    3: The Scream (the neighbor fight that started with hose water splashing, ending up in a fence painted with the scream)
    4: Dead Court (the never ending conflict about the antenna - 26 times in court!! 1000000 years)
    5: Stinky (6000 litres of sewage on the neighbors property border, infused with some fans to secure the smell would pass over the fence)
    Or anything else that interested you in this video? Love from Ronald and Mads

      The first one. When sawing your neighbors house in two, do you turn off their electricity first?

      I would say #1, since now the neighbor can see the naked neighbor in their sawed off rooms at all hours listen to their radio and TV programs and even when they fart since there are no walls to buffer the noises or ugly sights. But, it does make sense to saw off the neighbors home if they are on their land (just kidding, except if you are in Texas)😀

      A new neighbour, a few houses away from my house, stole my bin for organic material once.
      I found out when he was working in the garden and filling it up.
      I told him to give it back to me.
      First he had some excuses, then he tried to convince me to share it with him. I was relentless and made him empty the bin and give it back to me.
      I was about half his size but extremely mad and convincing. 😊

    My neighbor let his dog poo in the corner of our yard. Since that patch was already defiled now, he decided that would be a good place to toss his cigarette butts. While he was on vacation, I scooped up all the poo and put it at the top of his driveway, then added his cigarette butts to it. Since we are both of Norwegian descent, nothing was ever said about it. He did move some time later however claiming he preferred his new wife's neighborhood. 😉

      Plenty of neighbors unaliving neighbors cases in the US. Neighbor against neighbor, quarreling over all sorts of issues large and small. We had elderly neighbors that were mean and furious with our family because the leaves from our huge pecan tree fell onto their lawn, they wanted us to come over and remove any leaf that fell on their lawn because they said the leaves came from our tree, we were littering their lawn but they wanted all the pecans from our tree that fell on or hung over their lawn. They were mean and crazy! Luckily my father was transfered and we moved away before it got really bad there. In the 2 years we lived there we never raked their lawn and we did let them have the pecans that fell in their yard, there were plenty of pecans for everyone, they were so good.

    No, not the cat!! He didn't deserve to die! I'm a very quiet, respectful and patient person (especially when interacting with my neighbors), but if any of my neighbors mistreated my cats I would wage a petty yet vicious war against them. In fact, I did so once. One of my neighbors (a crazy, alcoholic woman who terrorizes our entire block and has a particular problem with me) kept leaving the gate to our shared garden open on purpose so that my cats could escape out into the street. The garden is surrounded by stone walls that are too high for the cats to climb, and the gate is also made of stone that is too heavy for them to push open by themselves and too low to the ground for them to crawl under- the only way for them to get to the street is if the gate is open. After many times of her leaving the gate open, too many failed attempts at having an adult conversation with her, having to do too many panicked heads counts of my cats (and randomly coming across one of my cats in a fight with a stray cat out in the street one day), I called a towing company to come tow her car that she had parked on our neighbors' property by only a matter of a metre (3 ft.). And yes, I did measure her parking job first to make sure she was technically on our neighbors' property. And yes, I did tell her I was the one who called the towing company on her (... which led to a situation that led to me being granted a restraining order against her, but that's another story). It isn't in my nature to be petty but I do know how to play that game just as well as anyone else. I can and do put up with a lot but I draw the (patience and friendliness) line at my cats. lol

    Love, love LOVE!!!! YOUR FINEST WORK YET ❤❤🎉🎉 Ronald deserves an Oscar 🏆 The Japanese in Tokyo are apparently very similar in temperament - passive aggressive feelings over small things but no feelings expressed outwardly. They don't like confrontation. These themes seem to be reflected heavily in the tv dramas of both nations 🤔🫣👺🤡

    The neighbour up the back of me has 2 enormous England flags the size of bed spreads on his balcony,a pirate skull and crossbones,purple glittery tape that rattles in the wind and solar powered flashing lights. I dont mind most of my neighbours as long as they are quiet at night.
    I threw a packet of frozen together pork chops on my kitchen floor to break them up and my neighbour in the flat below shouted "YEAH...I HEAR YOU!!! Yet he comes in at midnight every night and slams his door. Its quite funny really.

      Based on everything I've learned normal life is pretty much the same throughout at least Finland, Sweden and Norway. Don't know about the Danes though.
      It's just that us Finns take a certain kind of pride about being so reserved and "introverted", which I find kinda funny and a bit weird 😂
      But then again we like to present ourselves in very peculiar ways besides that as well. It's like we Finns like to be openly weird and make that our brand before it gets labeled as the negative type of weird.
      I actually don't know for sure if this is the case in other Nordics as well, but I suspect they are more self conscious about being perceived strange, and instead strive to be "normal" in every kind of way. We do that as well, of course, but still we also embrace our weirdness too and have started to make it our own brand.

    Quite spicy ! After all, in the final Analysis, Norwegian neighbours are also vested with human instinct. This episode expresses
    One of the manifestation where the sensitivity of that stock comes out. But, you made a creative movie out of ! I liked the beginning of the video with “ Morning “by Grieg. Perhaps, if the neighbours heard that piece, they would have settled amicably. Judge would have saved his time.

    Funny, there was a news story recently about a neighbor who complained about his next door neighbor's boat that was parked in the driveway when not in the water.. It was an eyesore, so he called the authorities. The boat owner had a high fence put up to hide the boat. ..Only he painted a life size picture of his boat on his neighbor's side of the fence for him to see it 24/7.

    I hope Ronald and Mads never move next to each other because you never know what can happen. Love your vids to much. I had an unbalanced man above me. Had a bad head cold so I took cold meds to nap and must have snored loud. Woke to what sounded like a major earthquake! The hall outside my bedroom and my entire bathroom were bouncing up and down like crazy. Walls and everything in the hall and bathroom. The noise was insane. I think he upended his weight bar and pummeled it up and down like a jack hammer on the bathroom floor to wake me. Management thought I was nuts until numerous plumbing problems resulted. Such as my bathroom ceiling caved in and hit the floor from all the water leaking. Dude went bezerk when they had to remove his bathtub and take his entire bathroom apart to repair all the plumbing connections. That was only 1 incident. Thank Goodness he was forced to move. Found out after he moved 3 other women in the building had to get stop harassment orders on him. It's been very peaceful since the day he moved and no more water leaks.

    I have been very lucky and I have had only one "bad" neighbor in my life. She was an old woman who lived in the big white house next door. She had a huge lot. When we were kids and playing ball in our back yard, sometimes they'd go into her yard, and she'd pitch a fit. We'd get in trouble with our parents. Finally, she planted a row of tall hedges between her yard and our backyard. If a ball still went into her back yard, we just left it there, and sure enough she'd throw it back. Really weird. This was when I was around ten. Fifty five years later, my assorted neighbors have been lovely and friendly, or I haven't known them at all. Love you guys!!!

    My mother tells me stories about growing up in Afghanistan in the 50s and 60s. There was little traffic and few cars so they would ride bikes all through the alleys and villages. At the end of every week all of the neighbors would meet in the middle of the neighborhood and share a potluck. All the kids would play and everyone knew everyone and shared everything. If you were sick, all of the women in your neighborhood would cook for your family and watch your kids. It was totally safe for kids to wander around far and wide with no fear. There was no war, no foreign mercenaries, no bomb, no extremists. No one cared what you wore or what you did. They had beautiful communities full of people living in harmony with festive holidays and fun games and pranks all of the neighbors would participate in. Then in 1979 the US imported foreign extremists and began funding lslamic schools and has been interloping and destroying a once harmonious and simple beautiful way of life. These people who only know forever wars and taking things by force with their bloody history now tell us we are 3rd world savages, violent extremists and "uncivilized" and they will civilize us.

    Ugh, the sewage, Ackk!! 🤢 Good fences make good neighbors, and better neighbors when they have to remember the Scream. 😂 I have missed you guys! Neighbors, yes...better to have your own fjord, for sure. It's almost Summer, will you be going to the cabin? How large are Norwegian mosquitos? The mosquito is the Alaska state bird, and very hungry.

    There’s a recent film called As Bestas [The Beasts) from Spain about a French couple that moved into a small village in Galicia and their neighbors terrorized them because they didn’t want to sell their land to a wind power company. Quite good, based on a real case.

    😂😂😂😂 it’s scary and funny at the same time! So much anger and conflicted emotions between people. Maybe they are unhappy about having to wait in line for alcohol at the vinminopulet (sp) and can’t relax in their home. All of the examples are worrying, but the Scream art on the fence is the best. Court in Norway sounds like a freaking ~hassle~
    Happy May 17th to you both, and your family and friends! I’m glad to see you back! Tak!

    I have a war with neighbors in Finland.
    We live in a pre-war row house and day 1 when they moved in they were moving furniture until 3 am. Then they put their bed against the shared wall, so we could hear them fart, snore and other things, so we had to move our bed to the other wall. They slam their door at 5:30am so hard that everything shakes inside and half an hour later their two huge dogs start running and barking around the house. They would also talk to each other as if they were 10 meters apart.
    I talked to them about them being loud, so they got quieter but instead they started letting their dogs loose in the garden for them to piss and shit where they please.
    In the meantime the neighbor made a barbecue, we had some small talk, smh vikings cropped up in the conversation and he gave me some grilled pigeon meat as a 'viking meal'.
    It was absolutely disgusting and after the small bite I ate I had a weird, foamy diarrhea for the whole day.
    Eventually the dogs started pissing and shitting in my outdoor gym. I told them to clean up and it was war from there on.
    Hitting the wall on purpose slamming the door at every occasion, playing with their dogs at 6am on purpose to wake us up, leaving their car running in front of our house for 1-2 hours.
    We started to go crazy and tried to ruin their life as well, I would play with my dog at 3am if I woke up at that time, I'd roll, stomp and jump around the room next to their bedroom, throw stuff at the wall, you name it.
    When the winter came in, it turned out that their dogs are taught to piss on our stairs and behind the house where my training equipment is.
    So I started moving the yellow snow onto their stairs.
    One day the neighbor was doing some bs on their stairs, waiting for me to come back home with my dog.
    He turned his back to me and started muttering something in Finnish towards me while looking back in a menacing way.
    Then he asked in English if I am moving the piss on their stairs, I said yes and all hell broke loose.
    His wife jumped out of the door, started screaming at me 'ARE YOU AN ANIMAL?! ARE YOU A CHILD?!'.
    The neighbor was making arguments that I am not a real viking (???) and I am a pussy if dog piss and shit bothers me, that Finns are vikings too and he'll show me if I ever move the piss again.
    Several days after the neighbor's wife started following us on the walk with our dog, she walked right behind us with their two dogs, like 3 meters away and would stop whenever we stopped.
    My dog is quite angsty so it was barking all the time and pulling towards them. Eventually I let him get closer, he touched their dog wanting to play with them and she started screaming 'TAKE IT AWAY, TAKE IT AWAY!'. So I took the dog away, told her to fuck off and she came at me and kicked my dog, I kicked her dog in the face too and she went back home.
    After we came back she was standing there with the other, older neighbor, recording us on her phone and the older neighbor told us 'now police and then you go back to your country', and of course there was piss on our stairs again. We reported it all to our landlord, she called the neighbors and it's a ceasefire for now but we never leave home without a phone now and we always lock our door. Not to mention that the older neighbor has the habit of burning old sofas and random trash on a huge pile behind the house.
    Can't wait to move out of Finland.

    Years ago in granite falls, wa , USA Two neighbors of mine had an ongoing argument about my friend’s fountain in his front yard. This other neighbor had a real problem with the fountain and long story short, after the last heated argument, the neighbor shot and killed my friend. In his front yard with his wife and children inside.. I take that back, his son witnessed it. Guy was the victim last name, in the 80’s.

    Oh my gosh! The Stinky conflict was the most shocking to me. So devious! The rest are not so surprising because we have insane stuff like that in the U.S. all the time.
    We had neighbors at one place that got mad when we were running our garden sprinkler because it occasionally sprayed on our shared driveway and they didn’t want their car to get wet when they backed out to leave. Once I was working in my garden and the neighbor came over to scold me because my butt crack was peeking went I bent over. Hahahaha!

    Hard to choose which example was the worst.
    Most of them put a lot of effort in being nasty.
    I think the most likely neighbour to meet is the psycho.
    I would be enraged in silence by his annoying behaviour.
    The solution you mentioned at the end: setteling at court, didn't seem to help the two professors.

    Just when I thought I knew everything about Norwegian culture, you surprise me! I do know their anger is "Viking strength" because I was a house guest in a supposed co-living house that ended up being an airbnb and I was the only "staff" helping out! Here I was with a recovering knee injury and doing an internship as a Norwegian laundry girl. There was no dryer so I had to hang all the sheets, etc out in the yard. The owner was pissed when I told her I was not well enough to mow her yard or chop wood. So I definitely know what it is to be at the receiving end of an old Norwegian woman's anger. OH MY!
    And yeah, I ended up going to the house of one of the guests there and high tailing it out of Norway!

Send me all the money that the Norwegian justice system will save from the time of making this idea an actual law. Takk!

    I had a few interesting neighbors, but mostly people who just minded their own business. I had one eccentric neighbor a few years back, and our family was the only ones friendly with this neighbor, everyone else complained or gossiped about them. So it did become a bit of a feud. Our 2 houses were the ones excluded from the block parties and the trick or treat table in the cul-de-sac. Now I live in a neighborhood that has an association, that can be a real bitch because they make up so many rules. Thankfully our neighbors are laid back enough not to report anyone. We don’t have any feuds going on here!
