122k+ People Are Loving This Funny Instagram Page That Shares “Very Finnish Problems” (45 Pics)
Interview With AuthorJust like every nation has its own culture, traditions, and, ultimately, identity, it’s also natural to think that every nation also has its own personality and quirks when it comes to things that people do or believe in collectively as a nation.
Very Finnish Problems is one of many internet projects dedicated to celebrating cultural and national identity—the Finnish one, to be precise—whilst also having some fun with it in the form of memes.
And it’s not just an Instagram page, as there’s also a “branch” on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and it even has its own website. Heck, there’s even a book with the same theme by Joel Willans, the guy behind all of this.
Bored Panda has collected some of the best memes shared on the Very Finnish Problems Instagram about all of the very Finnish things that may or may not raise an eyebrow outside of Finland. And while you’re scrolling through the list, why not vote and comment on the entries you enjoyed or related to the most!

San Francisco does this too. When I would ride my bike up Market Street after crossing Castro, the last six blocks to where I lived were brutal. The wind came from every angle and I would have to get off and just walk my bike up the hill.

What’s the difference between an introverted and extroverted Finn? The introvert looks at his own shoes when talking to you, and the extrovert looks at your shoes.
