Are you superstitious?

Lol! I don’t look for signs. I can be a little superstitious about a few things, for instance things have to be done a certain way or bad luck will happen, but I don’t look for signs.

I’m superstitious out of habit, not belief.

I knock on wood, cross my fingers, don’t put new shoes on the table, I throw spilt salt over my left shoulder. A hairdresser yesterday reminded me you shouldn’t use scissors on a Sunday.

However I deliberately will put an umbrella up inside, walk under a ladder (having checked there’s no one up it), step on the cracks in the pavement.

I do have my own idiosyncrasies; packets must be opened from the top always, none of this random upside down opening, and clothes have to be hung correctly on the line - tops from the bottom and bottoms from the top.

Not in the slightest.

That's a good way of putting it I do a few superstitious things but not many.

I’m not really superstitious, no. But I do have tendencies, especially regarding sports. If I notice my team scores every time I leave the room then I might stay out of the room until that’s no longer true. Just for fun, I don’t really believe my actions have anything to do with the result of the game.

I do stuff like that all the time!!! I thought I was the only one. I've never heard anyone else say that. 

Like, "we'll definitely know something by the time this roll of paper towels is gone."  Or "if X happens, current issue will all work out as we are hoping." I don't think of it as being superstitious though. Maybe more as a marker of time while you're waiting for something to happen that has no known time frame? Or a way your mind is subconsciously thinking positively for a moment while you wait for a certain outcome on whatever the current issue is?

My grandmother was superstitious. If I do any of the things she did, it's because I'm holding her in my heart.

She was my father's mother. One time she noticed the hem on my mother's dress was turned out, so she spit on it to ward off bad luck. My mother was appalled ! She was ranting about that one for decades

Yep. I just don’t get any of it, and I’ll definitely walk under a ladder just cuz.

There wasn’t a lick of superstition in my family of origin and then I married into a superstitious family that produced a son who observes silly sports superstitions - where wins/losses actually depend on what HE does.

I mean, c’mon: you actually believe that if you put a White Sox bumper sticker on your car, the team will lose? If there is a reason why the United States government should stop granting you a security clearance, it is this.

I'm not superstitious, but DH seriously is. Heaven help me if I put a hat on the bed or open an umbrella inside! His car always has X shaped finger marks on the inside of the windshield - we have a couple of escape expert black cats in the neighborhood and apparently that wards off whatever happens if a black cat walks in front of you, who knew?

DD is a big believer in signs. Years ago she was trying to decide whether or not to continue working on her Masters in Education. Driving down the road she was praying for a sign to help her decide. A car cut right in front of her, on the back of that car was a bumper sticker that said "Educate our children". She called me to tell me she had seen her 'sign'. Back to school she went.

Not at all. Some of these things I haven't thought of in years.

I’m not really, except for knowing when it’s a full moon work is going to be crazy. I work in healthcare and we all know that a full moon brings out the crazy and weird.

Just for sports and just out of fun not true belief.

My Steelers are 7-0, and I have worn the same outfit every game. In fact, I panicked (in jest) yesterday because my shirt hadn't been washed (not washing clothes as often since I am in quarantine with this stupid virus).

Hubby got it washed and dried for me before the game ( even though he says I am not a true fan since I actually wash it every week haha). Glad it worked.

Here we go! On to 8-0 next week!

Not at all, but probably because my grandmother was so over-the-top superstitious. I went in the other direction.

Sorry. Not even a little bit. But I don't think there is one thing wrong with being a little superstitious!
