are you superstitious? I am not.
I dont care if I wear something yellow I dont care if I go under stairs, or if the salt falls, or if a mirror is broken or if I walk near a black cat
any other superstitions?

There is one popular superstition I remember where, when eating grapenuts, you must open a window and shout "My name is Zelda" after every 4th spoonful. If you don't you will wake up the next day as a worm. Personally, I believe in it.

I can only have the volumes of TVs/stereos/etc on certain numbers... 14, 21, 32, 40, 51, 65, 71, 80, 100. And I flick light switches off 7 times... off/on/off/on/off/on/off.
I won't even go near number 13. If I won 13 million dollars, I'd give away 1 mil before I even recieved the cash. Well... maybe half a mil. I can live with 12.5.

superstition is a re-direction of personal blame

superstition is learnt, you aren't born superstitious. taken to the extreme it can lead to OCDs

I have something similar to an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... when I spend a night alone in my house, I HAVE to scan every room for intruders... I go in every room and take a quick glance, I check every closet and under every bed. If I don't do this, I feel like I'm going to get my throat slashed nocturnally and I can't sleep! I even feel nervous during the ''clean sweep''. It's ridiculous. Great feeling when I assure myself that my castle is secure though. Makes it worthwhile.
It only takes two minutes an evening, so it doesn't have a greatly negative effect on my life or anything, like a lot of OCDs can... they can mess you up. But it's pretty fucked up! I only have to do it when I'm home alone, thank Allah.

there is this one superstition, where the person thinks there's this thing called "God". It's pretty funny.

In my town, if you see a piece of sellotape on the floor, you have to stick it behind your right ear and leave it there for 12 hours.
Word has it that if you do not do this, each of your hands will turn into a swarm of bees and fly you into the sun.
