Why don't you cross spoons?

My sister at work had two spoons on the desk crossed and the guy walked by and said not to have them crossed. He wouldn't tell her the answer just to look it up on the internet.
So I thought I'd ask you guys your opinion/thoughts.

An old superstition is that crossed spoons is supposed to signify that a stranger is coming.

I dont remember ever hearing that superstition before, guess we learn something new everyday. I dont see why the guy didnt just tell your sister the answer though, unless he wanted to leave her hanging in the hopes she wouldnt keep the spoons crossed :)

Couldn't that be a good thing? What if the stranger was the love of her life or something like that.
