philpy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Was thinking about this at work this morning - when I'm Putting my work boots on, I always have to put the right boot on first, and when I'm wrapping or Banding materials, I always start on the left And finish on the right. If I do those things the other way round, I have an impeding fear that something will go wrong during the day. Anyone else on here superstitious, and what are your reasons for doing things a certain way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 When I played football, I used to touch the edge of the D before kick off. Set a marker, don't go behind it (always did, right enough.) In work, I don't tie my laces until I've got upstairs into the canteen. Fùck knows why tbh, probably laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawner upper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 On the 1st day of every month I say and repeat "white rabbit" 12 times, and I must do it on 3 occasions before before 12 noon and I must say it twice in my head and then I will say it at normal speech ( usually in a private place) I really don't know why, but I have done this for as long as I can remember, all my life really. Apart from that I am not superstitious at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the pills that mother gives him don't do anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Might have posted this before, but my Czech burd - usually level-headed - keeps a fucking fish scale in her purse. It's a thing over there apparently. When pressed on the reason why, she replied "It's not a superstition, it's just good luck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Not a superstition as such but always right foot or leg into anything first, socks, boxers, trousers, shoes, etc. Couldn't put my left leg in first or the world will stop spinning.

Heh. You sound like my bird. Except you wear boxers. And you support Falkirk. It must be some size of a fucking purse? fish.jpg Tis only a tiny scale. But going out with a foreign lassie opens you eyes to how utterly bonkers are European neighbours are. Their cows don't say "moo", they say "boo". I'd tell you what their dogs say, but you can't actually express it in everyday letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to make myself out to be a Peta terrorist or anything but how is a fish scale lucky? 1 does it not stink? 2. No very lucky for the fish. I've been thinking about your Czech Burd, next time you get her to howl like a Czech dug could you not record it on your phone? Then there must be some internet geek amongst us that can get said recording on here so we can all of a wig? Or what about that YouTube thingy, aye film her howling & put it up for us. Thanks in advance. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Leave it with me Grimbo (to do nothing of the sort!). I'll try and find out about the fish scale thing though. Tbh, she'll probably have no idea. Much like I've no idea why people salute magpies or say rabbits and hares on the first day of the month (saying "12 rabbits" is definitely wrong Stawner Upper, you're doing more harm than good with that).

ICTJohnboy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The woman in my life drives me mad with her superstitions. I can't directly hand her a table knife, or any kind of knife - it has to be placed on the table or whatever then she can pick it up. If she drops a glove it has to lie where it was dropped until some eejit like me comes along to pick it up for her. If she puts on any article of clothing inside out, it just has to stay that way for the rest of the day. Apparently it's bad luck to take something off and turn it the right way round and put it back on again. Even with all her crazy superstitions she has nothing but bad luck anyway.

Anyway, my wife always put a flower on the tree outside our house every morning before work. When I played, I always put my socks in order , most of those years I played in goals, I would always kiss the ball before ko. kick both posts & spit on the penalty spot. & when we won or lost I kissed right back/left back/ two centre halfes before anyone. win or loss EDA.

Shandon Par Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 When I'm driving along a quick road with street lights I have to bite/clink my teeth as I pass through the diagonal point between them. Thought I was a bit mad but my best pal from uni days also had the same affliction so I'm not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The old walking over three drains used to bring much rage from the ex. This is mine. I had an ex that used to get annoyed by it - fast forward a few years and I'm with a girl who indulges it to the extent that she avoids them too. She's fucking class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
