I don't have any, touch wood

I don't think most people would consider their irrational beliefs superstitions.

To me, a date like 12/12/2012 is just a way to remember the date.

Although, for years I woke up at 7:11 AM. and I thought it was a tad funny. It also amazed me that my internal clock could be that accurate.

But I was raised with old wives tales and superstition being the science of our family.

I think I got rid of it all, but who knows.

I do however have habits that are so ingrained that I do them unconsciously as a reflex.

I check my wallet hundreds of times a day ((to make sure it's there). When I used to fly, I would check my ticket and schedule every 10 minutes for no real reason.

Not really superstitions, because there was no thought as I did it.

But it's hard to read the label on the bottle when you are inside the bottle.

When I approach any door, I always stand a whole foot furthah back than prolly I should, which means I gotta reach forward a long way to work the handle.


Why so?


I told a real bad lie at school one day an' figured my nose would grow, jus' like Pinocchio's.


An' I don't wanna bash it noplace.


Stoopid thing is, this don't apply to drinkin' wine or smoochyin' out.


Jus' doors.


Gotta figure tho if'n I invite a vampire across my threshold I got a head start.

only reason i care i look at the clock at 11:11..hey if my clock was set for military time maybe i would care is i looked and it said 22:22 ..numerologically those are power numbers and i guess there is significance they show up in pairs ..you only notice if you are taught to notice..when many people don't give a ...

we create out personal realities ..so if these thing matter or we play to superstition.. its because maybe we feel we get more control over .. or things not in our control .. so maybe if i do a dance before and put the luck pendent in the right spot .. and turn around three time .. and say the same prayer 4 times .. before going anywhere things will go great ..

Definitely in the Michael Scott camp of "not super-stitious, but a little bit stitious."

At times it can appear boderline compulsive, but on the other hand I'm a firm believer in the power of random/recurring things that (rationally or irrationally) cue expectations of good things on the horizon

I think everyone has some mild form of OCD. When I was a kid, I really needed both light switches to "align" on the same spot for some reason.

I probably still have some quirks, but whatever works right?

Probably the term "jinx"....talking or thinking negative then it materializes....talking too positive and over confident then get the opposite outcome. Expecting something to happen a certain way because it always did and soon as you expect it on autopilot boom...does not happen as expected.


Walking with your sweetheart and not splitting poles or people...stay on same side haha.

I dont think in superstitions but i think in law of atraction , magic etc

many folks are becoming the prey for the superstition across the globe.

There was a movie where some people got stuck in the old haunted asylum where The Doctor had tortured and "ended" all the mental patients.



Would you stay over night there?

In Chinese, the sound of the character for the number 4 shares the same sound (but different tone) as the character for to die. So, a lot of buildings just skip the 4th floor to avoid being unlucky.

I've been in hospitals where they do that and it's like the 5th floor is the 4th floor so it's not like the bad luck isn't there (if there is bad luck). But I guess people aren't reminded about it so that takes away the problem.
