I could almost see his Viking blood burning inside him

On my paternal grandmother's side we are native Swedes, on my paternal grandfather's side we are Walloons and on my maternal grandmother's and grandfather's side we are Vikings. Unlike the world's most perfect husband who comes from Viking blood on both his mother's and father's side. This means that you should not bug him too much.

Since my husband is one of the most meritorious in his line of work in Sweden, he always has to take care of the customers who refuse or completely lack the ability to understand. Last week a man came into our store and wanted to buy a "hole reduction".

The man had bought a kitchen sink from one website and a kitchen mixer from another website. Due to a lack of knowledge, the man had assumed that all sinks and kitchen faucets are compatible. Something he became very aware of when he received his products. The hole in the sink was far too large in relation to the mixer.

Because of his bad purchases, the man was in a very bad mood before he even entered our physical store. Furthermore, the man had decided that there "must" be a hole reduction to buy. So when my husband informs him that there is no such thing as a "hole reducer", the customer completely loses it. He raises his voice and scolds my husband for something he has bought from another dealer outside Sweden.

When my husband informs him that he didn't shop with us (we don't even have an e-commerce store) and he has no reason to argue with us, the customer gets even worse. At that point my husband asks the man to leave our shop. Fortunately, the customer realized that my husband was approaching full-scale Viking mode and left.
