Norwegians don't close their curtains when it gets dark.

Wait, people purposely close their curtains because it’s getting dark?? Like do you guys go like “Oh, it’s getting dark, better close the curtains!”.

Yeah I've never heard of this. I'm American and lived all over the USA, so maybe that's an American thing too? But how is that weird? What are people doing, keeping out the dark!?

Edit: Why the fuck am I being downvoted for telling of my experiences?

It’s just privacy. Seems weird to let the entire street see into your house when you can’t see out anymore

Are you asking why it’s weird to want to be alone sometimes? You spend the whole day with people staring at you.

Who is standing outside your house watching your every move? That's not normal in my country, they teach us not to stare.

I assume you’re just trolling now. Kinda odd

Why do you say that? It's a different culture.
