Answer 1

I say I'm not superstitious, but still catch myself trying to counteract any negative vibes. lol The salt thing, yes, also if I leave the house, forget something and return for it, I sit down for a few seconds before leaving again. My mom always said it was bad luck if you didn't. I don't take chance. It's silly, but something that was instilled in me at a early age. I wish on falling stars but after doing so for well over 40 yrs, I'm still not financially rich. Oh well, one day chickens, next day feathers! :)

Answer 2

I absolutely always bend over and pick up a penny.  My husband teases me about picking up dirty coins in the parking lot but I do it anyway.  Gotta have that good luck!

See a penny and pick it up

All the day you'll have good luck.

See a penny and let it lay

No good luck will come your way.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 7

Me? Well let's see, I make an X on the windshield of my car if a black cat crosses in front of me, If I spill salt I throw salt over my left shoulder. I wish on a falling star, make a wish and throw a penny in a fountain at the mall. Cross my fingers when I lie And when I was mad at mother I would step on all the cracks. Poppy

Answer 8

Sure do - my grandmother ( dad's mom ) was Sicilian and we always had to do the salt over the shoulder if we tipped the shaker. My Dad also had to bring first thing into a new house salt and a broom.....I believe that's what it was?? to always have food and a clean home - something close to that.

My friends and I also always knock on wood - one of them started doing this a while back and now we keep doing it lol!
