Superstitions

With Halloween being tomorrow, and having done nothing Halloween related whatsoever, I figured I might as well try to get in the spirit by sharing some superstitions. I have to say I didn't really think I was very superstitious until I started writing these out, but I definitely follow all of these. 

1. I won't put my purse on the floor- it means your money will run away

2. Walking under a ladder, having a black cat cross my path, breaking a mirror- all bad luck! I try to avoid all of these like the plague.

3. If there is a wish fountain, you can guarantee I'm throwing in my two cents and making a wish.

4. I'll never make a wish on a stray eyelash. I used to do this, but I found that the opposite of whatever I wished for would happen.

5. Bad things come in 3's.

6. If you spill salt, throw it over your left shoulder. I heard it has something about throwing it in the Devil's eyes or avoiding evil.

7. If a bird poops on you, it's good luck.

8. If you have a dream and clearly see a number (or numbers), you should play the lottery.

9. Obviously I never tell anyone my wish; that's just silly.

10. Do not open umbrellas indoors, particularly in my presence. I will close it. It's bad luck!

11. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue: I will definitely be following this on my wedding day.

12. If I see a penny, I'll only pick it up if it's head's up.

13. I will always knock on wood, and wish upon shooting stars.

14. Friday the 13th is unlucky. I don't know why, but I'm not planning on making any big changes or doing anything out of the norm on this day. In fact, anything related to the #13 is unlucky in my book.

15. Eat black eyed peas on New Years Day for good luck.

16. I won't talk about something if I think it went well, like an interview, because I don't want to jinx it.

17. If your right eye twitches, something bad is going to happen. 

18. If the palm of your hands itch, you will come into money. 

19. If your left ear rings, someone is talking badly about you.

20. If you bite your tongue, someone is talking about you.

Need some more things to be superstitious about? Here's a super long list, most of which I've (luckily) never heard of! Want to see how you measure up? Buzzfeed's got you covered.
