I have read about cultures where, if you have something good or important, you never praise it in public. A passing demon might hear you, become jealous of your luck and break or spoil the thing that you are so happy about.
I don't even believe in demons. You'd think that would be enough to get them to not fuck with me.

"Hey all the credit card debt I have from the trip - isn't it great! I'm really loving that bit!"
