What are you superstitious about?

I wouldnt think I was a superstitious person BUT....I always throw salt over my left shoulder, wont walk under a ladder, open and umbrella inside AND you should hear me try to work out a wish.....I dont even like wishing for happiness incase I end up happy and someone else suffers etc. I am terrified of breaking a mirror...soooooo I guess not so unsuperstitious after all

Hehe, Susie.

I don't think I'm supersitious about anything. I can't think of anything, anyway.

i dont walk under a ladder. i stand under it and stabalise it.

my neighbours black cat comes inside and gets comfy on our couch -so not worried about black cats.

birds often fly into our house.

i have broken 4 mirrors in my life - they cancel each other out

I wont open an umbrealla in the house. only cos it knocks the mirror off the wall

more of an OCD than superstition - volume on anything that has a number association has to end in 0, 2, 5, 8 (10, 12, 15, 18, 20 etc)

dont put umbrella's up indoors (not only that, but i dont really see the point considering there is a roof lol)

i do the touch wood thing when i think ive jinxed something

when i 'make a wish' im really meticulous about it (incase i get an a$$hole genie lol)


and 'dont count your chickens before they hatch'. i hate getting ahead of myself, but i always do lol.



ladders, mirors, birds in the house, black cats dont phase me (used to have a black cat lol. and birds for that matter)

I'd never even heard about the touching white / ambulances thing! Although I do hate seeing them go past. I feel a bit better about it now my cousin works in one, he says that most of the time they're heading out to situations that are scary and need to be dealt with (old people with chest pains, babies with bronchitis etc) but that work out well - I was imagining car crashes every time I saw one

since i've been pregnant i havent been able to bring myself to visit cemetaries.

Me too! but I don't consider myself particularly superstitious.

This is an interesting thread!

I never allow new shoes on the kitchen table, eg when DH brings home shopping and puts a box of new shoes on the table I go nuts!!!

I always throw spilt salt over my shoulder.

Never walk under ladders.

I always touch wood!

New toilet rolls have to roll out from the wall as opposed to down against the wall (thats probably more OCD though). If I am at someones house and their toilet rol is around the wrong way I change it

I do this! and i always change it if it isnt right. i have always wondered it people notice that i do it at their house

Nothing really, but re the volume control, always has to be 5 space intervals, or a even number so 5, 10, 15, 20... or 10, 20, 30... Lol
