Superstition Mindshift

Superstitions are so incredibly silly. Most people have them and don't realize they do. I was thinking of some of the ones I live with:

If climbing a staircase make sure right foot lands on top step.

If you bump heads with somebody, do it again so you remain in good terms.

A black cat crossing your path, opening an umbrella indoors, braking a glass, or stepping on cracks in the sidewalk is bad luck. (In such events I usually buy a lottery ticket right away which takes care of the bad luck and protects me from a worse one.)

When a lady bug lands on your hand, let it crawl up to the tip of your index finger. The direction that it flies in is the direction of the place where you'll get married.

A bouquet of even-number count of flowers is only for funerals.

Crossing fingers for good luck. (I don't fold my thumb inside my fist but rather keep it extended - that way the 5 visible fingers spell the word "good" in Bulgarian; if I fold my thumb inside, the 4 visible fingers would spell the word "bad")

Saying "Bless You" when someone sneezes.

Watching someone else yawn makes you to yawn.

If you make a wish while throwing a coin into a well or fountain, the wish will come true.

If your ears are burning, someone is speaking of you.

Celebrating your birthday prior to the birth date is very bad luck.

Pour a glass of water in front of your doorstep. Walk over it and you'll do well if you are taking an exam, having an interview, etc.

Can't think of other ones, but I probably have another 20 at least.
