How do you get rid of bad luck from putting shoes on a table?

Okay, so, shoes on the table, right? Total bad juju. Like, why would anyone even do that?! My grandma used to go ballistic if anyone even thought about putting shoes anywhere near the dining table. It was like some sacred space, you know? She’d rant about how it disrespected the food, the family, everything. And honestly? I kinda get it. It’s just… gross. Like, imagine all the stuff you’ve walked through stuck to the bottom of your shoes – dog poop, who knows what else?! Then you put that on the table where you eat? Shudders.

I’ve heard about some of those “remedies,” like spitting on the soles or banging the shoes upside down under the table. My aunt swears by throwing salt over her shoulder after accidentally brushing her shoe against the table leg once. But honestly? That all feels a bit… much? I mean, I’m not super superstitious, but this one just feels… wrong. Deeply wrong. It’s like inviting bad vibes in, you know? Like leaving the door open for trouble to walk right in. So yeah, for me, it’s simple: shoes stay on the floor. End of story. Way less hassle than dealing with whatever bad luck supposedly comes from table-top footwear. Who needs that drama? Not me. Isn’t there enough to worry about already?!
