According to Google translate:

Perkele - Evil spirit or a version of "god damn"

Mene kusemaan muuntajaan - Go pee on the transformer

Also, the tradition is the exact opposite as I understand.

In Finland they like to be alone and be left alone, so you don't just intrude on someone if they are in self-isolation.

Yeah that's the joke.

Or did I miss some sort of elaborate joke-joke?

The worst case scenario in scandinavia when boarding a bus is that it is exactly half full, which obligatory means every double seat is occupied by exectly 1 person, and you must choose which one to annoy (including annoying yourself, if you're Scandinavian because you too want to sit alone). Standing works, but you must feel shame all the time.
