Do you have any weird superstitions

[SoreArms]

For the msot part I am not a superstitious guy at all, but there are two superstitions that I just cannot shake.

1) I will not put shoes on top of my bed.

When I was younger, I was at one of my friends house, who was from Honduras. I once placed my shoes on his bed, his mom saw me and quickly swated them off. She them emmediately went to some corner, and removed the cover from some sort of alter that had all kinds of saints and little figures, and started praying. She told me that it was extremely bad luck to put shoes on top of the bed, mostly monetary. Looking back, I think she probably practice Santeria, not sure. Either way, that stuck with me.

2) Find a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck!

This is another superstition I practice. If I see a penny on the floor, I have to pick it up, no matter where I am, who I'm with or where the penny is (I've picked up pennies in the middle of traffic before). Only one per day and it doesn't matter if it's heads up or not. Then, it must stay on back, right pocket for the rest of the day. The good luck from it only last until that day expires (12:00 AM).

What are some of yours?

I will not say "Good Luck" or Macbeth inside a theatre

I do the penny thing to. If it's on heads I pick it up, if it's on tails I flip it over and leave it for someone else to find. I'm fucking stupid.

Yep it was. My (real) dad used to put stuff kinda like that under my bed when I was sick to guide me back to good health. One thing was like this little figure with an oversized head.....cant remember the other stuff though.

One of my uncles supposed practiced Brujeria...the bad shit.....what a fricking weirdo.

The death metal band?

 

[The Shadow]

why

Saying the "McB" word while not onstage will bring bad luck to the show.

Of course we pray to Saint Genesius to watch over us...lol

Matando Hueros!

Like those little doll things you are supposed to put a gift in front of and then they supposedly go out and take care of business for you at night... those little fuckers creep me out....


I don't put hats on beds... (head goes to sleep)

Also if I have a bad thought I knock on wood...(or use my head as wood if nothign around)

All the broken mirror and walking under a ladder and try not to step on cracks too (if I am thinking about it at the time)

When I was playing ball I used to get dressed the exact same way every time... now when I lift I do the same thing for warmups everytime.... Im very ritualistic like that...

Í slept in my jersey the night before games when I played basketball

 

[jenscats5]

As for the pennies, I won't pick one up if it's tails.....won't touch it.....bad luck.....

I don't do this as much anymore but when crossing the threshold into a room I still sometimes catch myself counting my steps. I can't cross into a room on an odd numbered step.....otherwise I have to do this weird little hop to get to an even number........my aunt who is a nun, got me on the even/odd thing as a kid cuz she drilled into my head that odd #'s are evil.......

I know I saw that too, but I was doing it since I was a little kid - so I must have heard of it from someone before tat....

He just thought it was bad luck. I had never heard ofthe head falling asleep. This sounds like one of those weird ones, in a cool way, that I might start doing too now.

 

[Dougly]

LOL I used to do the same thing. I eventually broke the habit after I decided that practice was causing bad luck. I'm fucking stupid.

Yeah you are - can you imagine how much bad luck you have built up by now?! j/k lol

 

[SoreArms]

When I was younger, me and some friends would also put a finger to the roof/ceiling of the car whenever we crossed over railroad tracks, but I can't remember exactly why.

that is like the walking on a crack thing... I have seen people knock on the roof crossing tracks... i think that is in the just general bad luck catagory...

that kind of lifestyle will ruin you!

 

[gonelifting]

I don`t really have any but I will NEVER step over a child when in the presence of my mother! NEVER! If they`re lying or sitting on the ground and you can`t pass them...I`d rather walk around the house than step over to get to the other side of the room. She flipped out on me a few times, enough to make me understand "The child will stunt his/her growth if you step over him." saying all this while she takes another puff from her cigarette. Yepppppp.

 

[eat big]

i have a superstition of black cats crossing my path, especially when im driving. two times ive been driving, and a black cat has crossed my path. one time, i got a ticket, the other time some douche in my backseat threw his cup out and a cop saw. so yes i hate black cats.

 

[SoreArms]

yeah black cats crossing in front of my car have brought on some mishaps, full moons too

 

[chesty]

I won't put plates on the bar unless the numbers are all facing outwards. Won't mix plates of same weight if they are from different manufacturers. Even if they way exactly the same.
