Do you knock on wood when you mention something hypothetically disastrous?

Do you, upon seeing an ambulance or hearse, pinch your nose or hold your breath?

Is it bad luck to leave a house through a different door to the one used to come into it?

More than 80 percent of high-rises lack a 13th floor.Italians omit the number 13 from their national lottery. On streets in Florence, the house between number 12 and 14 is addressed as 12 and a half. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck: Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo.

Cross my heart and hope to die, cut my throat if I tell a lie.

Pregnant ladies are not to go to the zoo unless you'd like your future children to look like snakes and koalas!

13 is my lucky number. Or kinda my family's... started with my pop, then my nan and pop's wedding on the 13th day of the month, he died at 1pm, my nan's birthday is on the first of the third, after pop dies nan swears everytime she looked at the clock the numbers would add up to be 13 etc etc.

my first house was unit 9 number 4 (9+4) was the first door on the third floor, boyfriends house was number 157 (1+5+7), our place now is unit 13, number 1, and also on the third floor... it just seems to be 13 everywhere, which can be the case with most numbers, but I don't look for them. most of the time it's someone else who points it out that makes me think...

I'm not very superstitious but I never throw away money. be it 5 or 10c if I have nowhere to put money i'll either give it to someone or something, i won't throw it out. friends have helped clean up after get togethers and find 5c on the floor while vacuuming or whatever and go to vacuum it up, i won't let them etc. there's tonnes of change littered throughout every crevice of my house, every drawer, etc...

Always have money for a cheeseburger.

Having this conversation with friends apparently a lot of people throw away 5c pieces?

Can't rule out the possibility of my friends being fucked in the head though...

Yeah shit like that I don't do. :)

I'll give change to the homeless if I'm especially off my guts, but won't throw it in a well or a fountain...

you must cover your nose when you sneeze otherwise your soul will leave your body and the evil spirit will take over.

hence the phrase, "bless you!"

I found out recently that you can dry banana leaves and make banana tea! There I was only a few days ago wondering what I could do with left over banana skins, it seemed such a waste!!! Haven't tried the tea yet hehehehe!!!!

ps you like like such a compassionate guy in your pic, no wonder you wear your heart on your sleeve!

I like natural breasts, not the ones with the silicone in them...that takes away their naturalness. They shouldn't look/feel rock hard.

mine too, except it's all shoes

also opening umbrellas inside the house

Mum wouldn't have umbrellas opened inside the house either.

I got told off a few times about that.

There may have been something about throwing salt over your left shoulder if you spilt it too.

Oh dear, we do have some funny ideas, don't we?

When a black cat crosses your path, it is safest to just turn around and find a different route to where ever it was you were headed.
