Why is luck so unhygenic?
Chinese New Year lasts for about two weeks and I think I'm not supposed to wash or cut my hair for the two weeks for luck. I'm not shaving for one week since I need all the luck I can get these days, but goddamn everything is starting to itch. Of course, there's no rule about not washing so I just lather up with soap and go to town on my body. Still, I don't like not being shaved, which is why I'm just going one week without shaving.
There's also something about not throwing things out for luck as well. Who the hell decided these things are luck rules? I know that "Fa" sound like both "luck" and "hair" so the cutting of the hair is considered cutting off one's luck, but the cleaning thing... Really? Who the hell decided that? I guess "dust" is pronounced like a lucky word so when you sweep out the dust, you sweep out the "luck" or something.
