Are you superstitious?

[Gemini]

It is Friday 13th.
An unlucky day? Do you walk under ladders, wear lucky socks, fear single magpies?

Are you superstitious or do you think it is all a lot of nonsense?

I would like to think I am not superstitious, but the facts say otherwise!

I hate to see a single magpie, I would try not to walk under a ladder unless it was too dangerous not to, I feel I have to take my 2 night time tablets in a certain order and am not happy if I realise I have taken the 'wrong' one first! When waiting for any results or going though anything difficult I wear my dad's signet ring. I know none of this makes sense.

We did fly to New York on Friday 13th several years ago!
I was very reluctant, but in the end the date suited the friend we were staying with so I really couldn't inconvenience her to suit a superstition I don't even want to admit to! All was fine of course, and our flight was almost empty (due to other superstitious people) so we could stretch out on a row of three each after take off

Can’t say I am superstitious at all ,
Of course I say touch wood etc but that’s just a habit thing ,
My sister was born on Friday the 13th ,
To be honest I didn’t give today a thought 🙄😁

I'm not superstitious, but like Oma i do say touch wood. That just seems to come naturally.
We have flown on Friday the 13 th a few times. I know a lot of people won't though.
I won't walk under a ladder,if someone is up it, in case i knock the ladder and send some poor soul flying.

My mother was very superstitious, in fact, I think she invented it. I am not but DB2 was telling me that his wife is, she wouldn’t travel on the 13th!

We've flown on Friday the 13th - in one case one year after an horrific crash, with the same airline. And our plane had to make an emergency landing after being diverted to a 'safer' airport! That was quite scary.

I try not to temp "the fates" by saying 'touch wood', and 'all being well'. I feel like Nanto about walking under ladders. It's ok if no-on is on the ladder, but I'd worry about knocking someone off.

If I spill salt I usually throw some over my shoulder - goodness only know why!
