Sometimes people put an extra spoon or fork on the dinner table.
In some cases, this happens by accident. However, it also happens that cutlery is placed on furniture on purpose - "in case it comes in handy."
However, folk signs advise taking exactly as many spoons and forks as needed.
The thing is, having an extra piece of cutlery can lead to one serious problem.
Sign about an extra spoon or fork on the table
It is believed that a person who puts an extra piece of cutlery on the dinner table has “invited” someone to visit.
After all, if there are additional utensils, then someone has to use them.
Thus, the presence of another spoon or fork on the furniture can lead to the appearance of a visitor in the house.
The problem is that this guest will be uninvited. And most likely, his presence will not be very welcomed by the family.
To avoid such a situation, do not take anything extra for lunch or dinner. There should be as many sets on the table as there will be people eating.
