Surely many have heard of this sign: if during a meal a person drops some cutlery on the floor, then guests should be expected.

But what kind of person’s visit should you be prepared for?

According to popular belief, it depends on what specific cutlery you failed to hold in your hands.

It's one thing if a spoon ends up on the floor. And it's a completely different matter if it's a fork.

According to the signs, if this cutlery falls, then a woman will soon come to the house.

Moreover, we are talking about a good person. Therefore, all household members will be glad to have such a guest.

According to legend, in this case the guest will also be a representative of the fair sex.

But this time it's unlikely to be about a nice person. Perhaps the guest will bring some not so good news.
