There's a W emblem at the college I went to, they say if you walk on the W your freshmen year you will fail your exams. Of course it's not real, but I still could never bring myself to walk on it. Not even now when I go back to visit.

Learned this one when visiting my family in Germany: It is bad luck for the next year if you wash clothes between Christmas and New Year. LOL0

It's funny where superstitions come from and the power we give them. Salt over the left shoulder to blind the evil spirits, wishing on eyelashes they are based on something. One I did for years without knowing why, I didn't light more than one cigarette per match or lighting of my lighter, turns out it was an old soldier trick intended to keep the enemy snipers from pinpointing you.0

I love learning the stories behind the superstition!! Hey, maybe I'll be a history major..nah I hate learning the boring stuff like politics. Haha0 -
My sister has one, she holds her breath and plugs her nose every time she drives by a cemetery. This doesn't allow her to get spirits in her she says. She started doing it as a child and now does it cause its "fun."0

I see 777 almost everyday on licence plates... some say I only see them because I "look" for them but I find it odd...0

I have a friend who did this. We always found it funny to try and find really long tunnels to drive through when she was in the car.0
