Little superstitions

Little superstitions
Do you still claim to small superstitions? Avoid Black cats? Don't walk on cracks? Careful with the salt? Take your umbrella outside?

RE: Little superstitions
Oh I love making fun of people who have little superstitions XD. Especially those who say touch wood. I would go, "yup, that really helped. We avoided something awful, thank you so much for doing that."

I don't have any, but if someone has them, I can't resist but to poke fun at it XD.

RE: Little superstitions
I have none.

There might be something I do in a kind of ritualistic way, although I can't think of anything right now. But if I do, I do not expect 'good luck' or to avoid 'bad luck' by doing them.

It's a well known fact that touching wood prevents attacks from Siberian tigers. Haven't seen any Siberian tigers around, have you? Well?

Good job all you that continue to touch wood! Keep up the good work.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I've made a thing out of that. I usually knock myself on the head, since one Swedish synonym for idiot is "träskalle" (literally "woodhead", but means bonehead), just to poke fun at the superstition Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I don't think I have any little superstitions left. I don't walk under ladders, but that's more out of a fear of it falling, or whoever is up it dropping something on me.

If it shouldn't get all over the place, make sure that you burry your face.

If you don't clean up all over the place, then smack it all over your face.
