Dropping A Knife On The Floor

I later studied superstition and found that it was a sensible request and probably came from the days of duelling.

Dropping a knife on the floor.

If you drop a knife a man is coming to visit while a fork means a woman and a spoon a child. A dropped knife means a man will visit. If my mum dropped a knife on the floor it stayed there until someone walked in and then she would ask him or her to pick it up for her. I think they will be unexpected visitors.

Bad things will happen if a knife falls and sticks into the floor. A man will visit if you drop a knife a woman if it s a fork or a child if its a spoon. Sometimes dropping a fork is said to presage a visit by a gentleman while dropping a spoon suggests a woman is going to come calling. Do not leave crossed knives on the counter top or there will be an argument.

In iceland it is believed that when a knife is dropped by someone while cleaning fish and the knife lands pointing in the direction of the sea the fisherman will get a good haul the next time he goes fishing. Maybe its true someone else should pick it up if it s a knife. If the knife falls and points towards land the fisherman. Don t buy a yellow lighter.

That s what my mom always said way back when. If you dropped your sword then lost concentration trying to retrieve it your opponent had the. When you drop a knife it means you ll have a fight a knife a fight. Drop many pieces of silverware and a family is coming.

Also if you sweep a person s foot while sweeping the floor they re going to jail. In another superstition a dropped knife is a bad sign. Another reads that if you drop a fork a man. Dropping silverware means company is coming.

Good luck will come from the direction in which the knife is leaning. A dropped knife that sticks into the ground is a good sign.
