    Woaw I'm Tahitian and lived in Tahiti my whole life. I never heard of "if you sweep the floor at night or it vitamins you'll let bad spirits in". You must have been with very "special" people or they were making fun of you with a serious face... This is one big thing with Tahitian people, we love to make fun of others. It can be hard for strangers but don't get angry. It is not malicious.
