The Irish embassy in Stockholm rocks!

OK.. here is the story of the most unorganised way in which I went to a consulate and still got a visa! It happens only in Sweden.
Here's a list of all the things that I did which would have resulted in a sure-shot reject (or a 'come-back- tomorrow' line) for a Visa but didnt!

1. I call the Consulate half hour before closing time, tell them that I want to apply today for a Visa but cannot come until half hour after closing time.
2. I call her 25 minutes after closing time and ask for directions from the Metro station
3. I call her again when I reach the doorstep, wait for instructions, ring the doorbell, only for her to patiently explain, that I've rung the wrong doorbell, since she didnt hear the buzz at her office. (The embassy had rented a small apartment in an old (but very pretty) building where you have to buzz to get in if you don't have a key)
4. She's waiting for me (and me only) 29 minutes after closing time when I entered the reception.
5. I pass an incomplete application for a Visa, (one line even with a wrong entry!) over the counter, only for her to patiently explain that I need to specify my gender, marital status, home address and email ID
6. I fill it up, hand it over and tell her that I made a small mistake. She looks at the mistake and simply strikes it off!
7. "Can you get the Invite with a signature on it?" she asks. I look at her flustered. If she's frustrated, I don't see it.
8. "The visa fee is 570 crowns", she says. I hand her my maestro, only to be told that they don't accept cards.
9. She hands me a pretty embassy business card, writes down a number and says "Here you are. That's our bank account number. Transfer the money tomorrow. You can use the internet to do it".
10. She accepted the application! She actually did! The sweety!

Then...

Yes...there's more.

1. She asks me to call her on Monday and then come and pick up the Visa.
2. I forget to call her on Monday coz I'm burried in work. I get a friendly call on Tuesday, asking me to come and pick up the passport!!!!
   
   Man.. look what an interesting combo is the Irish 'take-it-easy' policy and the Swedish 'Always polite' attitude!

Kudos!
