Do you have any superstitions?

I don’t know if I necessarily believe in any of them but I do knock on wood and say bless you after a sneeze. I probably just do these out of habit and the sneezing one to be polite.

I salute magpies & never put new shoes on the table 🤷🏻‍♀️

I believe that dreams can be premonitions.  I also experience deja'vu with some frequency.

I definitely avoid crossing a black cat's path.

A baby related one would be to not stand over a baby heads (at the top of the head), it will make them go cross eyed hahaha

also when I was not married I heard a thousand times "Don't sit at the corner of a table you'll never get married"

Never put a purse on the floor and never cheers with water

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k that’s an interesting one about the baby. I have never heard that one before.

@leprechaunlady I’ve heard about the shoe one, and even though I don’t feel very superstitious about it, I find myself being careful not to do that either lol

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k I must be full of bad luck 😂😂

I don’t really have any superstitions, but I don’t like to plan events or big things on Friday the 13th.

I must not be very superstitions because I've never heard of a lot of these 😂

@blackcat01 my best friend got married on Friday the 13th. It didn’t end well 😬

I also knock on wood, mostly out of habit and if I see a ladder, won't walk under it. I do the car ones a lot and at this point it is purely habit and pretty ridiculous but I've been doing it since middle school and can't seem to stop! If I cross railroad tracks I lift my feet, touch a screw and make a wish. If I run a yellow light I kiss my fingers and tap the roof.  Also, don't put my purse on the floor, it's supposed to bring bad luck to your finances 😅 and in general I always refused to mess with the supernatural like playing bloody Mary ooor using a ouija board, just in case! 😅

Edit: typos

I cheers with water all the time! I've never heard of most of these.

@kbrown2385 My mom got remarried on Friday the 13th with a full moon. It was a bad marriage that is no longer too. I just don’t understand why she did that lol

@peppyj9 Sooo that explains my financial issues 😂

@peppyj9 sameee on the supernatural stuff, no thank you, that creeps me right out

Don't give a name to the thing... Which is sort of along the lines of self fulfilling prophecy. And, I throw salt over my shoulder. I believe in bad energy being left behind by previous people.

I also believe what doctors tell me about my current pregnancy predicts the next one.
