Are you superstitious?

I am, it's quite bad. I hate the number 13 and 4, always walk around ladders and today I came across a black cat and tried to avoid it. Didn't work :frown:

I think I should just get over this. Superstitions aren't real!

I live on the 13th floor of my building and have a black cat, and when I spill salt I just say "****!"

Haha well I can't step on those drain things on the ground dunno what they're called them metal squares, I can't walk under those big road signs or I have to clap twice to make it right, can't walk under ladders, avoid cracks on the road, there is this house near mine and I can't talk when I walk past it or my cat will die... etc etc. Stupid I know haha.

I'm very interested in the supernatural, but I'm not superstitious. I'm more of a skeptic.

Superstitious people are annoying. I opened an umbrella inside a shop just before I went out and the shop worker was like ''ooooo don't do that!!!'' and ran away... :rolleyes:

Sort of, not in those sorts of ways though. I will always wish on the time if it's like 13:13 or 12:21 or whatever, and I used to have an alarm clock that had a flashing colon in the middle, and I would put it on the bathroom windowsill to time washing my hair when having a shower, and I would look away for a bit and then choose a second to start from and count the flashing colon, and if the minute changed exactly as I counted 60, then I would make a wish or something good would happen :biggrin:

Stupid I know. And I always try to find signs and coincidences in things, to help me make decisions.

Nope not at all.

Think of it this way - 13 is actually a lucky number in Chinese - it means "You'll live!" :biggrin:

On the other hand, 14 is unlucky cus it means "You'll die" lol. I lived in the house number 14 for like 8-9 years. And now I live in number 4 (4 means die or death, basically). I'm still alive!

Basically, it's ridiculous because if these things were true, it shouldn't differ between cultures.

Not particularly. Heck, there was one time I was on a plane and I noticed there was no row 13, and for a while I assumed this was some dumb mistake and sat there feeling amused at the numbering fail, until I eventually remembered being told that planes don't have rows with so-called 'unlucky' numbers... XD;

Nah. I sometimes think in a superstitious way, stuff like touching wood and thinking things have happened for a reason. But if you asked me whether that stuff was true I'd say it wasn't, it's irrational but humans are quite often irrational.

I used to do this, well I still do.

Though I dont wish on the time. Normally I do the counting the colon thing when I'm trying to persuade myself to get out of bed in the mornings.

I do it when I was morning TV programmes that have the clock in the corner too. And I have about 5 clocks in my room and get a bit stressed if they arent all on the same time.
