Example:
My parents are frugal af and refuse to get a new phone charger and tries to “fix it”. I think my mom mentioned it caught on fire (or sparks) once or something like that…
So I was like: “Just get a new one for fucks sakes … Oh I mean I guess you can keep using it… the house is insured, fire is included in the policy, so I guess it’s fine.”
Then my mom gets mad because it’s “bad luck” to say stuff like this… as if somehow making this joke is gonna have a cause-effect to the house catching on fire… 🤔
Like are they afraid of angering the Gods? Spirits? Wut lmao?
🤦♂️
That’s not dark humor. That’s just being edgy and it’s quite unappealing.
In my culture, it’s considered bad luck to say that a disaster will happen.
It does’t hurt to respect such thing, especially if it’s such a small thing.
It’s also bad luck to ignore the obvious signs that something potentially bad could happen if no preventative action is taken. Bad happenings don’t care about beliefs or superstition.
No offense to your culture or any that view it that way, but it’s incredibly ignorant to make discussing them proactively, a social taboo.
