You've probably heard that etiquette rules don't recommend leaving a spoon in a teacup.
However, grandmothers, who are not always properly familiar with them, also advise doing the same.
What could this be related to?
As it turns out, there are a lot of signs and superstitions that prohibit leaving a spoon in a cup of tea for a number of reasons.
It is often believed that such a habit can cause a person financial difficulties.
Such people do not know how to manage finances wisely and risk losing their funds. Also, you should not leave a spoon in a teacup if you are a single lady. This habit may threaten that you will not have a worthy admirer and there is a risk of never getting married.
But family people shouldn't "relax" either: if at least one of the spouses is used to leaving a spoon in a cup of tea, then the couple will have constant conflicts over any reason.
From a scientific point of view, you shouldn't leave a spoon made of unknown materials or plastic for a long period of time. But a stainless steel accessory won't cause any harm to your health.
