In Romania, odd numbers whisper love. Even numbers echo R.I.P.

    POV: You hate memes that start with Nobody:

      What’s weird is that recently I only ever see it used inappropriately. The thing being highlighted in this meme wasn’t particularly objectionable or weird, so pulling a “Nobody:” on it just makes it look like OP is desperately trying to crowbar their observation into a meme.

  1 rose works well in a small vase.

  2 roses means the go left and right, which looks weird.

  4 roses are the same, either it’s unbalanced or split.

  3 and 5 mean you have an even number, plus a middle.

    Yep, Russia alone is 140m people (and Romania is like 15-20 I believe). Not like I am superstitious, but I never bought even numbers of flowers so not to be misunderstood. An exception is when there is “a lot” of flowers, then nobody cares.

    How it was explained to me in Slovakia is that even number goes on the grave.

    Which sucks, because I like even numbers and dislike odd.

    It is also present in France, i heard about never making an even bouquet, and judging by the internet, it's because it's also meant for funerals.

      It’s quite present here in Eastern Hungary. Countless times was asked by my older relatives if I made sure to buy odd numbers of roses for my gf

    Not in Lithuania.

      I’m Lithuanian and I have an early childhood memory of gifting somebody four dandelions for birthday and my parents told me it should be an odd number of flowers for a gift. I don’t think I’ve heard it mentioned since, but it’s a thing. I don’t think most people would care either way, at worst a florist might have a shifty look if you buy an even number of flowers.
