Washing a car will bring rain. Ya think??? I have known this one forever. Well, not forever, but for as long as I can remember. I now call washing a car, doing the rain dance. Wow, superstitious people really knew what they were talking about didn't they? Does it always rain when you wash your car?

Yes, it does. Did you know it is bad luck to be superstitious?

@cindiowens I love those sorts of sayings. I particularly like 'I used to be apathetic but now I can't be bothered'. :)

I am thinking of things my grandmother used to say. Her nose itching meant a visitor was coming, but that is another post, lol. I didn't know it was bad luck to be superstitious. I think it is good luck. Or maybe it is irrelevant luck?? Or maybe it is no luck at all.... LOL

Nope, hubby uses waterless car wash. I think it rains every time I think about mowing the lawn or going to plant.

Funny. I bought wind chimes and put them in the trees. The wind didn't blow for days, lol.

I don't think the car washing thing is a superstition. Right now with our weather it is wish! If it rained when we washed the car everyone in this stat would be out there right now doing just that.

It doesn't rain when I wash my car. It usually rains when someone wishes it would rain near me and I say 'okay'. :P

@cindiowens In two weeks a massive offshore system will form and smash South Carolina with tons of rain and damaging winds. Sorry, but I can't do finesse operations!

My father hated to wash his car. And when he did, we just knew it would bring rain

This is the first time I heard this superstition. Well, that's why it is called superstitious belief.

We had a very dry dry spring. Our garden was not growing. The day after we finally watered it the rain started.
