What are your Superstitions ?

[02ducky]

What kinda superstitions do you guys have?

I have a few when it comes to hunting and fishing and dealing with other stuff.

[ray1970]

I'm not superstitious. Never have been.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey Ducky.

I'm superstitious about picking up lost money...coins or paper, doesn't matter.

[Fentonite]

I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious.

[HoneyBadger]

Do you kiss your fish? :D

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I never step on the ice first when I play hockey. Someone from my team always has to step first.

Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

Wow, I'm superstitious about picking up lost money too, I ALWAYS have to pick it up! [LOL]

eta: In case you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. And I am not superstitious at all.

[SideShow Bob]

I have no superstitions,.

Knock on wood for that..........

[OtterbatHellcat]

LOL Bob.

[3beansalad]

I always feel like women's boobs are staring right at me.

[Ah Pook]

Not so much, except the salt thing. Tossing it over your shoulder when it's spilled and setting it down for someone else to pick up.

Always eat blackeyed peas New Years day. And walking under a ladder but that's just common sense. And yak shaving day. I always leave out a new razor, just in case.

[BPTactical]

Left shoe/skate always goes on first. If my socks have a logo like Wigwam it always goes on the left foot.
I won't step on the red line or blue line during warmups.
I won't pick up a penny if it is tails up.
1 tap of cigarette ashes in the manifold of a new engine.
New car, bike, boat or other such item, 1 small scratch in a non obvious place.

[twitchyfinger]

Don't you know it's bad luck to be superstitious? Oh and if you think breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck try breaking a condum!

[SAnd]

No boats. I almost died in a car. I almost died in an airplane. I ain't getting in a boat. That's land and air. I'm staying off water. And that third time thing isn't going to have a chance at me. I never liked playing in water anyway so it's as good excuse as any.

[wctriumph]

Whenever I purchased a new helmet for off road riding I would place it on the seat of the bike and then let if drop to the ground and get a ding or scratch before I rode with it.

That's about it I think.

[blacklabel]

Ehh, my gut is usually wrong so any superstitions that I've tried to start I've quickly given up.

Wow that's one I've never heard of before! Ever heard the myth that dropping a helmet from three feet or more ruins it and or voids the warranty? Not sure I believe that it would ruin one but found your superstition intriguing for sure!

[TEAMRICO]

My grandmother said never start anything on a TUESDAY.....so I don't.
I always dress starting from the left side...the day feels off if I don't.
I will ONLY use a YELLOW TOOTHBRUSH. I don't know why but they are not the most popular color to associate with teeth!!!

[gnihcraes]

I had brain surgery on the first Friday the 13th in 2012. That year there were 3 Friday 13ths all 13 weeks apart. Probably why I'm all f'd up now. Bad luck.

I own a black cat, does that count?

I use 13 as my lucky number now.

[Limited GM]

When riding the twisters and taking a break, I'd always throw my jacket on the ground and set my helmet on it. When asked, I'd say, "if it wants on the ground, I want it to get it out of its system"

im not superstitious at all but a friend I use to ride with and was with when he died, did the above always.

[funkymonkey1111]

none

[Scanker19]

No Chaplins, or chicken bones on the tank. Also I never eat apricots.

Sounds like that ritual didn't work out well. I don't think I would be doing the same thing that somebody who passed away did.

As mentioned, I'm not superstitious. A better point could be, that his, like yours, superstitions are meaningless.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey, it's only stupid if it doesn't work.. :)

Surviving a nuclear holocaust

Surviving a nuclear holocaust

How is that a superstition?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Perhaps he meant duck and cover under your school desk.

Like that would have helped a fuckin thing....lol

When the end of the world happens I want to be the first one to go! I dont want to survive that shit.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

I'm superstitious of posting my superstitions on the Internet.

[Sawin]

I believe in God, Bigfoot, and extraterrestrials.

I don't walk under ladders, not because of superstition so much as it's just stupid, and I try not to do stupid things.

[davsel]

I never sleep with midgets or clowns.
Its worked so far.

You're really missing out.

It is just that it will at some point be in contact with the ground and if I scratch it first, it will take longer for it to happen when I am wearing it. I don't know how true it is. At least it doesn't bother me so much when I do scratch it while wearing it. It was also a ritual among friends that when someone got new boots, one of us would say "nice boots" and then step on his toes with a grinding motion, just to break them in you know.

Dropping a helmet from three feet won't usually do anything but ding the finish. If you hit the ground with your head hard enough to, even for just a second, cause a blackout, either send your helmet to the manufacturer for inspection (which they will do for free) or replace it. A structurally damaged helmet is a bad thing.

And the superstition of hanging a bell on a motorcycle to ward of the gremlins........ The bell has to be given to you, you can't go out and buy it and put it on.

[mcjhr]

In high school night before every game or meet I'd cut all my nails.

[Joe_K]

I hate the number 6.

You must have been a Marine. I devoutly believe that uttering the "Q" word at work will immediately bring about mass chaos, disorder, panic, and hysteria.

[O2HeN2]

I never watch someone go out of sight (old mariner superstition). I never watch someone drive out of sight or walk out of sight, for example.

Never accept a left hand handshake.

[lead_magnet]

I have this thing (probably from growing up and living in Las Vegas for 15 years) but I have to donate to the spirits of luck every so often. I go to vegas and play roulette with a little money (usually like 100 to 200 bucks) and bet the dumbest fucking bets I can (usually on roulette) until I've lost it all, and I won't leave until its all gone. In return I don't get shot in the face at work. Working so far.

That, and always keep your exit on your right.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

What if you meet a person with only a left hand? French kiss em?

sounds like you have a gambling problem bro :)

[jhirsh5280]

When I played pro ball I always jumped over the foul line going to and coming from the pitching mound. I would also alternate kicking my heels with the toe of the opposite foot (twice on each foot) after my last pitch of warmups before the catcher threw down to second base. The last one originates from when I was a kid and I had a hole in the toe of my cleats and when I dragged my foot rocks would get under my foot so I did the heel kicking motion and would move the rocks out from under my foot and back out the front hole. In non sports life, I never step on a handicap parking spot, in fact Ill go out of my way to go around it. I just consider it good karma.

That's not a superstition. Just a dick move.

[BPTactical]

I can't believe I forgot this one:
Never, ever put a hat on a bed. If you do, never wear that hat again.
It is an old cowboy superstition and the only time a cowboys hat is on a bed is when he is dead.
My dad was always adamant about it and so am I. I gave my wife holy hell in a handbag when I walked in our room and she was cleaning the shelves, she had set my hats on the bed.
I have not worn any of those hats since.
