hello everyone. I was just sitting here thinking about the saying "you must of got up onthe wrong side of the bed" and it made me laugh. I was a little irritated this morning after getting up and my partner said wow-we must of got up on the wrong side of the bed today-It just dawned on me-What is the wrong side of the bed? How do we know which is the wrong side of the bed?[lol] this saying has been around for a hundred years or more but i never really thought about it until today-what is your intake on this? happy mylotting

The wrong side of the bed is the left. According to a superstition that goes back to Roman times, it is unlucky to get out of the bed on the left side because that is where evil spirits dwell and to do so means their influence will then be with you through your waking hours. Naturally,m if one is expecting to suffer the whim of malevolent spirits by inadvertently getting out on the wrong side of a bed, they cannot be blamed for being a little grumpy. Now, I didn't just know that. I just looked it up and that is what I came up with on Scorpio tales. I myself, was in a lot worse mood until looking this up. It put a little smile on my face. Thanks for cheering up my day by giving me something a little productive to do. :) Have a great day!
