Daily Entertainment: Superstition Edition!

[damncompass]

Happy (or not-so-happy) Friday the 13th, everyone!

In honour of that, I give you today's Daily Entertainment Offering.

Superstitions!

Is your character superstitious? If so, what about? If not, why?

For bonus points... what about you as a mun?

Huh! I haven't heard that one. Cool!

I love stories from all over the world. I'm sure that there's a million we have over this side of the pond that you haven't heard of, but I'll be damned if I can think of one right now.

There's one that says that you have to hold your breath while driving past a graveyard, and another that you have to pick up your feet when you're in a car going over a bridge (although how the hell you're supposed to do that one while driving is beyond me).

... I just love folktales.

I haven't heard of either of those two! Damnit, I bet I start doing them now.

My worst one, probably, is not walking over three drains. That's awkward when on a crowded pavement, and is so clearly rubbish. My vague OCD quirks don't let me ignore it unless it's impossible, though.

[damncompass]

Haaaa.

I haven't heard the drains one. Just 'step on a crack, break your mother's back'

Now I'm going to be thinking up and spamming you with superstitions all day.

It's apparently because three drains together is the size of a coffin, so if you walk over them you'll die. But if you walk over two, it's lucky. Idek. But that one's definitely a 'spin around three times and spit, fix-it', which, ew.

And oh man, mercy! These things fixate in my brain, and I find myself doing them even though I know they're crap.

When I was 11 or 12, some impressionable age like that, my grandmother decided to tell me it was bad luck to wear green on a Friday.

My school uniform was green.

Oh, the trouble that came out of that.

[never_shall_yield]

...oh my Lord, that's just cruel. Wow. *stares*

I think eventually they convinced me it was OK if I kept some random lucky charm in my pocket.
