"Superstitions" What Are Your's?

So I am driving my car with my friend and we cross the railroad tracks and it reminded me of a thing we did when we were kids. I said "Did you (as a kid) lift your feet when you went over the tracks"? Reply "Never heard of it". Then he comes up with "Like when you hold your breath passing a graveyard". He got me, I had never heard of that. So here is my question .....



What were or are your Superstitions ?

Knock on wood. Always. I also did both of those superstitions as a kid.

"See a penny, pick it up or all the day you'll have bad luck." I always pick up a penny and stick it in my pocket.

Never shove a co-worker through a wood chipper on a Saturday morning unless it's very foggy.

Always put on your left shoe before the right one. Always take the left one off first. The same goes for gloves. Whenever I forget and put the right one on first I always have terrible things happen. This is not superstition, it is fact!

If you don't believe me, ask any Navy pilot who ever flew the A-6 Intruder. The ejection leg protectors MUST be put on left leg first. Any pilots who put the right one on first are now dead!

My Grandfather said never walk under a ladder. Also make sure a male comes in your door first on New years day or you will have bad luck rest of the year. Find a penny heads up and all the day you'll have good luck.

@ 8:02- Hmmm...that may explain why I can't ever get a date. Excuse me, I have to go dye my hair.

You keep NOT dating redheads and I'll be glad to continue dating them. More for me!!

I have a few and I get teased about them all the time
Never walk under a ladder
Pick up a penny, only heads up though
Never go out a different door than the one I entered through
Knock on wood
If you're at bingo and you're not winning, get up and walk clockwise around your chair 3 times and sit back down, luck will change (sometimes, lol)
If a black cat crosses your path, it's bad luck but if one crosses your path after it the opposite direction, your luck will be restored.

I had forgotten the railroad tracks one until I read it here today, did that one as a kid too.
