Oopsie almost gave my neighbour a gift with four of something. Not 100% sure where she is from, but best not!
I suck at navigating those sorts of things. I thought I was somewhat culturally aware until I started hearing about the concept of unlucky numbers and realized I have zero clue how other cultures do things. Probably a good reason I should never become the prime minister, I'd end up offending someone through sheer obliviousness and getting us all blown up ๐
Pretty sure the PM gets formal briefings on this stuff. Paying attention to it is another matter. No Keating you may not pat HRM on the bum!
