Regarding Chinese numbers, four is unlucky, supposedly sounds similar to their word for death, and eight is lucky, similar to their word for prosperity. The Chinese Summer games started at 8 PM on 8.8.08. They make hockey players look rather logical in their superstitions, lol.
As for 7, that's a Western lucky number. Forget why.
Yeah, as I said, I agree, it's on her. And it's remarkably stupid and kinda self destructive. Just thought maybe there was a easy resolution there. But you are right, even if it didn't become a problem, it kinda sets a precedent for a road you don't wanna go down in the future.
Though I would think the clouds making bunny faces at you would be a good omen! Not a bad one...

Bottom line is numbers are randomly computer generated and assigned. If you don't want to run because you don't like the number you were given, or the clouds make funny bunny faces at you, or the green of the grass is making you see elves everywhere, or your shoelaces are too pink... then don't run. Life is full of choices... make smart ones.
