Are You Superstitious

No, not at all.
I find all the ritualistic behaviour interesting, though, such as throwing salt over your shoulder and that kind of thing.

No not at all nor do I believe in ghosts, fairy’s, leprechauns or anything else that I don’t see touch or feel
I would imagine the same people that believe in psychic happenings, believe that inanimate objects can make good or bad luck

If you call saluting a magpie, not walking under a ladder and I’d hate to break a mirror then I suppose I am just a little bit. I always wished my daughter to break a leg before she went on stage as well.

Not in the least. Surely in 2022 educated people have evolved beyond that stage.

No I’m not, but I was seriously injured in a road accident as a teenager on the 13th, and acquired my brain injury on the 13th, so maybe I should be!

Nothing ever happened on all the many other 13ths though grin

Only the main ones, breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder, 13 at the table and then of course Friday the 13th! We have a lucky horseshoe on our door and a couple of gargoyles guarding our gate. You can’t be too careful!

I wouldn’t walk under a ladder and that’s about it. Dil who is from Italian stock, is very superstitious, won’t have lilies in the house as they represent death, won’t say cheers with water, if she says anything that alludes to something good happening will say ‘knock on wood’, won’t celebrate birthdays early as apparently it is tempting fate, the list goes on ?

Happy Triskedekaphobia Day! I claim not to be superstitious, but I wouldn't walk under a ladder. ?

Since it’s fri 13th, what better time to ask! I’m actually not! Though I wouldn’t purposely walk under a ladder!
