Contexto cultural

In Danish offices, saying 'det er en vild dag' is a valid reason to decline a non-urgent task without causing offense. The hashtag #vilddag is often used on Instagram to show a 'day in the life' of someone with an active lifestyle. Danish parents use this to describe the 'ulvetime' (the wolf hour), the chaotic time between picking up kids and dinner.
