All Swedes are very punctual and being late is absolutely unacceptable for them. Moreover, it does not make any difference for Swedes whether an arrangement is in their public or personal life – they are equally punctual in both cases. These people are never even a minute late
for a business meeting, a beauty salon, or a friendly party. Even the laws and regulations in Sweden encourage punctuality in the citizens. For example, if a Swede is very late for their hair appointment, and the hairdresser does
not have enough time for the haircut, the client still has
to pay the bill for the service of the hairdresser.

Все шведы очень пунктуальны, и опоздания для них совершенно недопустимы. Причем пунктуальность проявляется как в общественной, так и в личной жизни граждан Швеции - эти люди не опоздают
ни на минуту ни на деловую встречу, ни в салон красоты, ни на дружескую вечеринку. Даже законы
и порядки в Швеции на страже пунктуальности -
к примеру, если швед запишется к парикмахеру
и не придет либо сильно опоздает, и мастер
не успеет его постричь, ему все равно придется оплатить счет за услуги парикмахера.

The descendants of the Vikings are often envied for their rational approach to life, so they almost never behave unreasonably and always avoid unnecessary spending. Swedes are used to planning their everyday routine
to the smallest detail so as to make the most of the day
and at the same time not to rush around. They also plan their spendings in advance and go along with the plan whatever the circumstances. For example, a common situation for a Russian when twice the amount planned
beforehand is spent at a time in a supermarket would sound like a complete nonsense for a Swede.
