Since ancient times, the dining table has been compared to a sacred place.

Therefore, such furniture was treated with special attention and endowed with various signs.

For example, superstitious people say that you can’t knock on such an object.

The thing is that it is considered disrespectful to higher powers if you start knocking on the table with your fingers or pounding it with your fist.

Hitting the table with a fist leads to trouble. Conflicts at home, difficulties at work, and the person risks facing financial problems.

If you tap your fingers, it can lead to poverty, large and unexpected losses.

Food should not be thrown around during meals, and it should not be left on the table or touched in any way. Any food should be on the dishes.

For example, if you want to peel a boiled egg, you can't hit it on the tabletop. After all, you have to take into account that an egg is a symbol of life, and if you hit it on the table, you can anger God, and a black streak will begin in your life.
