Since time immemorial, many superstitions have been associated with the visit of guests, which are reflected in proverbs and sayings.
Just remember this: “An uninvited guest is worse than a Tatar”, “A guest does not stay long, but sees a lot”, “When the guests leave, they wash the host’s bones”...
One such superstition is the strict prohibition against offering to help with washing dishes.
Let's figure out where the problem lies.
The whole point is that since ancient times people have carefully protected dishes and everything related to cooking from the evil eye and damage.
Therefore, in everything related to domestic life, it was forbidden for outsiders to take charge.
Superstitious housewives believe that interference in such an intimate sphere of life will lead to the family losing its well-being and wealth.
Since this sign has survived to this day, before offering your help in the kitchen, think about whether this gesture of politeness is appropriate.
