Have always tried to ignore or block off any superstitions due to my christian backgroud ,but one morning back in 97' i realised that all my life have been putting on my left shoe first when am getting ready..this morning was very different and akward cause i struggled to put on right shoe on first,the day was nightmare everything went wrong
its a superstition i cant ignore because i can tell how the day will turn up if i have problem with my left shoe while getting ready....
can you share with us your personal superstition and believes of good or bad lucks'signs etc....
Some people won't come in my house because I have a black cat... and I won't walk under ladders.... last time I did, was it by a brick.... :shock:
I used to drink from the wrong side of a cup/mug for the first sip then turn it round. My mum pointed it out to me, I never realised I did and so I weaned myself out of it.
Not so much superstition but I have some weird ocd shit going on most days. I check things a lot (iron off, door locked etc) and recently this has expanded to things being even numbers, eg I can't watch the tv if the volume is 21, I'll answer the phone on the 4th ring. I know it's bonkers but my day runs more smoothly if I keep to these habits rolleyes
thank goodness am not the only one
yes i did miss_kitty,but are they not different from superstition
Not always.... we still do them to stop things from happening in our minds...
OK now you are all going to think I am weird but ......
1. The phone has to ring 5 times, before pick it up
2. I can only drink a can of coke that was taken from the "front" of the fridge drawer
3. If I drop a coin, someone else has to pick it up
4. I can't cook if we have milk in the fridge
5. I can't iron if it is raining (we live in the NW so it rains every day)
6. I can't eat oysters if there isnt an "r" in the month
7. I can't drive "his" car if we are going out anywhere!
8. I can't wear knickers if i have trousers on
9. I can't walk under any ladders
10. I cant say "NO" to my kids :inlove:

you lot are strange biggrin
I have a magpie thing.
If I see one magpie on its own, I have to salute it 3 times and repeat 'good day sir, good day sir, good day sir'(in my head!) and then hunt around in the hope i see another, as two are good luck you know!
I have no idea where it came from, i'm an atheist, don't believe in anything, but its always something i've done from a young age and can't stop doing!
I look ridiculous!

:giggle: maz, i have the same problem if i see one magpie, except tip my hat once and i say good morning ( or afternoon) sir to you you wife and children, just the once.
i have to do this, and im sure i look a bloody idiot at times.
it started when i was pregnant with my first child i seemed to see 3 magpies everywhere, then i had a baby girl. guessed that reinforced it.
i tell my children every time they go out, i go out, finish talking on the phone that i love them.( even if it was a row) i will always then know that god forbid, then that was the last thing i said to them.
xx fem xx
I find it a physical impossibility to put my left shoe on first - I don't think it's a superstition - I just can't do it!
I can't walk on man-hole covers; borrowed lights or those metal things covering delivery shutes.
If I spill salt I have to throw some over my left shoulder - no idea why.
I have quite a few more but don't really want to admit to them biggrin

All depends on whether you listen to local superstition or to the well known song. In which case seeing 2 magpies is joyful rather than good luck wink
PS: Dontchya just lurve a pedant! rolleyes
I do exactly the same to my friends and family, I tell them that I love them.. it drives them mad, but I feel better for doing it.. I spoke to my mum the night before she died.. and the last thing I said was "love you".. and the same with my dad when he died last month... I am so glad I do this!

The superstition goes that the devil stands looking over your left shoulder. I don't know if the salt is supposed to make him go away or just annoy him lol
I always go out of the same door I came in through.
I never put new shoes on the table.
If I give someone a purse as a gift I always put some silver in it.
