    World unites over Twitter debate that Swedes don’t let you eat if you are at their house

    A Twitter thread went viral recently in which people shared their experiences of visiting Swedish homes and not being served food.

    A question was posted on Reddit: “What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone else’s house because of their culture/religion?”

    One of the users replied, “I remember going to my Swedish friend’s house. And while we we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to wait in his room while they ate.”

    “I slept over a friends house. When we woke up, he said he was going downstairs for a few minutes. After about 15 minutes I go on the stairs to see wtf is happening and they are eating breakfast. They see me and tell me he has almost done and will be up there soon. I still think about it 25 years later,” another user replied.

    People on social media are finding this tradition a little “weird”. Have a look at some of the reactions:

  • Iffat Omar apologises for jumping queue to get vaccinated

    Iffat Omar apologises for jumping queue to get vaccinated

    After a barrage of criticism, Iffat Omar has admitted her fault and apologised for jumping queue to get vaccinated.

    “I am sorry. I am ashamed. I apologise from the bottom of my heart. I will repent,” wrote the model-turned-actor on Twitter.

    Omar had received harsh criticism after pictures and videos of her getting vaccinated for coronavirus went viral on social media with netizens accusing her of jumping the queue to get vaccinated when more deserving citizens still have to wait.

    At the time, only those aged 60 and above could avail the free vaccine under the government drive, while those aged 50 could get registered for a shot and there was no commercially available vaccine against the coronavirus in Pakistan.

    In the video that was widely circulated on social media, Omar was seen getting vaccinated alongside Federal Minister for Housing and Works Tariq Bashir Cheema and other relatives of his at the minister’s residence.

    Cheema had initially denied accusations of jumping queue and claimed that a team from the University of Health Sciences (UHS) had arrived at his residence to administer a ‘booster shot’ of a ‘trial vaccine’.

    The minister said the same team had earlier administered the first dose of the trial vaccine to his family at their residence.

    Meanwhile, Omar at that time had told people to “take it easy”.

    In a now-deleted tweet, the actor had said that she received a booster shot of the Chinese vaccine CanSino.

    However, Pakistani Twitterati had called her out on the claim, pointing out that CanSino was a single-dose vaccine and does not require a booster shot.
