    Not a superstition per se, but I'm pretty sure something terrible would happen to me if I wore white sandals after Labor Day. :embarassed:

    I don't really believe them but I have to throw salt over my shoulder when it spills. And I do try and avoid black cat crossings

    Ones I know are...

    Never put shoes on the table.
    Never walk under a ladder.
    Never open umbrella indoors.

    x

    I always put my shoes on my coffee table when I get home! I don't feel like taking them to the closet yet, and if I put them on the floor, my dog will chew them!

    As a coach, I make sure and wear the same game gear all the time if we win. I even try to eat the same foods, and fill out my book and stuff the same way. Maybe that's anal and not superstitious? LOL

    My mom always said

    Don't put new shoes on the bed (or any other place besides the floor)
    If a broom falls it means someone is coming for a visit. I believe, depending on which way it faces means male or female.

    I was always told that if you sit your purse on the floor you would always be broke (What one has to do with the other I've never quite figured out)...This was drilled into me when I was growing up...

    To this day I will do a power dive across the room to catch my purse if someone tries to sit it on the floor!!! LOL :drinker:

    I have not heard this one but now know why I am so broke all the time and need to find a better place for my purse here at work, lol.

    knock on wood = if you say something that hasn't came true and you don't want it to
    black cat crossing in front of you = bad luck
    shoes on a table = bad luck
    full moon = weird things happen
    heads up penny = good luck
    if you leave the house and have to go back because you forgot something = bad luck
    opening an umbrella indoors = bad luck
    killing a spider = will make it rain
    killing a black cricket = bad luck
    empty fortune cookie = bad luck
    walking under a ladder = bad luck
    spill salt = bad luck if you don't throw some over your shoulder

    Other weird things:
    if your left hand itches = you're going to recieve money
    if your right hand itches = you're going to have to pay a large sum of money
    if your nose itches some is thinking about you
    if your ears ring someone is talking about you

    I'm sure I have more.. and yes part of me believes these. But then when I write them down they sound like hocus pocus. Either way, I'm still not setting my shoes on the table or going back to the house if I forgot something.

    I'm originally from Missouri and I remember as a kid my mom wouldn't let us count the cars in a funeral procession. A couple more superstitions not mentioned yet are a ladybug is good luck and if an inch worm is crawling on you it means you will get a new piece of clothing.
