I must clench and unclench my toes a few times on a carpet at the next available opportunity after landing from a flight
I refuse to wear red shirts because of Star Trek TOS.
I love this one!
I never saw a Unicorn before I believed in them. I guess they have a magical defense against being seen by people who don’t believe in them.
Now that I do believe in them…I still haven’t seen one. I guess they’re not local to my area.
I intend to continue to believe in them for the foreseeable future while I do some travel… just in case.
IMO there are no harmless ones (by that I mean dictionary definition superstitions - not just things like traditions and adages that have a logical reason or basis), if a person truly believes in actual magical thinking no matter how silly it’s a doorway to accepting the rest.
Like letting in bullshit like horoscopes, homeopathy, faith healing, yearning for eschatological prophecies…
Damn, you must be fun at parties.
Flexible thinking where you can have silly beliefs but know to trust what can be verified is more resilient than embracing fear of the unknown.
Wot?
Where’s the emoji of Chief pinching the bridge of his nose after 86 speaks when you need it?
Salute a single magpie to ward off bad luck
Whenever I get out of my car with lights still on and it dings to warn me, I thank it for reminding me. I just know the day I don’t do that is the last day that ding will happen!
It’s always best to be polite. I like to thank automatic doors for opening for me
I feel like bad things will happen to me if I eat a broken butterfinger bar.
If you hand someone a sharp object like a knife or scissors you will soon get into an argument. Gotta set it on the table for them to retrieve instead.
That’s a really good superstition. Everybody wins.
If three good things happen to me in a relatively short period of time, something bad is gonna happen next.
If three bad thing happen to me in a relatively short period of time, somethig good is gonna happen next.
If I’ve been a good boy my poop session will go smoothly. If I think I was a good boy, but then my poop is awful, I think “damn I must have done something…”. If I have been an asshole, but my poop goes well, I think “wow, I’m gonna have to pay this back tenfold tomorrow!”
When I hang my clothes up on the line to dry, I have to use matching coloured pegs for each item of clothing. I like the symmetry. It feels wrong to do it otherwise.
If I see my initials in a car rego plate I take it as a good sign.
I do a monthly newsletter at work. I collect the stuff for the newsletter in an Excel sheet. I normally end up with around 12 items or so. But that makes my Excel sheet stop on line 13 because of the header row. So I’ll add 2 more things. Because if I just add 1 then it will be 13 entries. So my newsletter will have less than 11 or more than 14 entries. I don’t know why, I don’t care about the number 13 anywhere else in my life.
I’m still not convinces platypus are real
