Superstitions

Are you superstitious?

I tell myself I'm not but I do find myself avoiding walking under ladders...

Let's have a reminder of of all the superstitions you can think of....

Re: Superstitions

Not cutting your nails on a Sunday, which I also apply to the animals!
Throwing salt over your shoulder if you drop some, or have some 'left over'

These are my main two + the ladders one.

Neither had I until about 15 yrs ago. Now I just can't do it. Cali, I noticed today, really could do with her dew claws being trimmed. She'll need to wait until tomorrow!

Unlucky to see one magpie, lucky to see two.

Re: Superstitions

Isn't there one about holding your collar if you see an ambulance until you see I can't remember what! Which is unlucky as we had three ambulances and a helicopter at the park today!
