anyone out there is superstitious ? Who wont walk under a ladder, or cut their nails on a Friday, oh oh and the one I hate a single magpie just cant be ignored !! Come on people let us know if you are superstitious and if so what wont you do, and if you are not..........dont you dare make fun of me !!!!! lmao
Oh it would be interesting to know if there are different superstitions in different countries so do post and enlighten me, pretty please ! :koolkat:
If I do not want to jinx myself, I knock on wood. My hubby never lets me put new shoes on the table, it is bad luck! Something his mom taught him. hahaha I am sure there is more if I thought about it :)
Find a penny, pick it up, the rest of the day you have good luck!
P S what is a magpie? I think a bird but?
You are right donnad it is a bird.......
I am a find a penny person but otherwise not too bad on superstitions,won't go under a ladder but only because if they tip the bucket at that point I don't want to have to come home & change & as for Mr Magpie had never heard that one until we started traveling to shows with a friend & all the way there we kept hearing " Good morning Mr Magpie & how is your good wife today"'so asked her what it was all about & she said it was bad luck if your saw a single magpie & didn't ask him about the wife.....perhaps that's why her cats do a lot better than mine had better start the chanting.....!
Donna I touch wood for luck to ! And I have heard of the 'no new shoes on the table' As jckkerrison says the old Magpie rhyme goes ........Quote:

So if you see a single magpie and you dont want sorrow you have to address him. I think there are a few ways like jckkerrison says as well as saying Good morning Mr Magpie how are you today ? I am really sad because I get so excited when I see two of them together !!! lol
Thanks for posting Donna, nice to know superstitions travel well !!! lmao
jckkerrison you are a more practical person then, solid good sense head on those shoulders !!! lol The magpie thing must be a UK thing, and I get so annoyed when I see one to !! its a pity because they are lovely birds albeit thieves !!! lol My luck must be pretty bad, I never find a penny !!! lmao I think you have to pass it on for luck dont you ? My mother was not in the least superstitious nor dad so I dont know where I get my paranoia from !!! lolQuote:
