Well, my friend would literally stop the car and turn around right there (hwy., city, where ever) and go the opposite direction. I can't even imagine how he would respond if he hit a black cat...lol. I suppose I do the whole, "Things happen in three" routine. Course, it took me about a half an hour of thinking about the superstitions to remember that I even do this...lol. Anyone else adhere to the same belief? "Bad things happen in threes?" no, but i shake my head when it happens

Ohhh and I don't do laundry on New Years Day. Do I beleive that stuff no but can't seem to break the habit either. Opps and I still knock on wood for that one. Awww and the salt over your shoulder thing. Hummm so why do we still do these things even though we don't believe in them some habits are hard to break.

Also: Don't spit into the wind, Don't tug on Supermans cape' and "Never" pull the mask off the l Long Lone Ranger! And never mess around with Jim!

It should say; I see said the blind man, to his "DEAF" son, while walking his three legged dog across the street!

Never give a knife as a gift, it severs the relationship. Don't tattoo anybody's name on my body, unless they have passed. Some cannot be mentioned, because even mentioning them can make the Bad JuJu happen. Never say "I l--- you" first to a woman. You will get kicked to the curb every time.

I never wear green on ST. Patrick's Day. I never whiz on anything that even remotely looks like it might be an electric fence.

I'm more of an intuition girl, than a superstition girl

Just thought of another one (yes, I find myself doing this one, too): It's supposed to be good luck to find a penny lying on the floor/ground....but only if it's "heads up". If it's "tails up", don't touch it.
