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?
🤦♂️
Your specific example just sounds like superstition, but dark humor is like playing with fire, it can be a lot of fun, but, you have to be careful. There’s a time and a place, and it’s funny if you accidentally burn someone.
Depends on who gets burned tbh
If the person burned has been boasting that they’re fireproof all night, that’s hilarious
