    I’m not superstitious at all but out of habit I do tend to (moderately) follow a bunch

    Don’t put new shoes on the table Don’t open umbrellas inside Don’t walk under ladders Don’t walk over 3 drains Don’t pass people on the stairs Throwing salt over my shoulder if I spill some) Pointing out the good luck of being poop on by a bird Greeting/saluting a magpie

    ……

    Oh dear that’s a lot… maybe I am superstitious!

      I do this and I don’t even have a reason like you do.

      I think it’s just become so ingrained in me now that it’s not even a conscious choice 😅

        When i was little i didn’t like to walk on cracks. Not for any reason or even the old kiddy superstition. I still have to catch myself not walking funny to avoid the pattern cracks in sidewalk! 😂

          I absolutely relate to this - I worry my stopping to let people pass so I don’t have to walk on grates makes me look totally unhinged
