Yesterday I was listening to the radio and people were "making fun" of another person because she was superstitious. They were trying to force her walk under a ladder. Well, a few years ago I would say that I am not superstitious at all. But well, I have a lot of "traditions". I bring the same juice to every single test/exam I have to make. I do all the stuff we need to do in New Years Eve (money on the shoe, get down of a chair, make 12 wishes,...). I even can not put my purse/bag on the floor anymore. What about you? Do you consider yourself a superstitious person?

It is considered bad luck to walk under a ladder,for the simple reason that the ladder may fall on you.

Most superstitious are based on common sense.

I'm not superstitious, but I just like things a certain way, sometimes.

@fufurinha No, not at all. Maybe just a little OCD

Traditions and superstitions are part of our culture. I respect them the same way I respect all religions.

I am ...the only problem is same pen, same clothes, same rituals don't work the same way all the time...but I still hold those things with due regards thinking I possibly forgot to brush my teeth or have bath.

@fufurinha ..groan...superstitions are silly they don't work...but we associate those things with our good luck and eventually end up feeling we did something wrong. We expect miracles from inconsequential stuff..lol
