666 superstition - Yes ? No ?
I have come across the number 666 twice in my business life.
First time was in an email address. I just thought it was a bit weird but thought no more of it. Later down the road I was taken for over $6000 by the guy... Thought it was fishy, but lesson learnt.
Second time it was in a business address... While the 666 flagged my 'alert' signal, I decided that its not like you can really choose your business address and it was just a bizarre coincidence... However at that point I did not know about 'mailbox addresses' (I was new to living in the states) but luckily I found out just in time. Had I continued on, further into the deal, I would have been REALLY screwed over - I lost a small amount, but put that down to another 'life lesson'
The above happened between 1998 and 2003 - Since then if I even get a sniff of 666 I walk away - But I don't come across it much these days - Until today.
Someone gave me a quote for some building work. He said Six hundred and sixty. When I confirmed again at the end of the convo I said so thats £660 then? Yep, he replied... 'I rounded it down...'
So, my inner alert flags go off. Its a fair price for he work, and I have no reason to distrust the guy - He's done stuff for me before...
So my question is - Is it superstitious mumbo jumbo, or am I right in considering steering clear this time?
Please vote - Thanks
