I have a black cat so I cross its path about a thousand times a day but I am funny about not opening umbrellas inside and not real big on walking under ladders! So strange when I think about it...

No shoes on the table. Any shoes. Even shoes in boxes. That's from Mom. I put shoes on my table, but because of her, I always think twice.

From my time in Japan:
Never kill spiders in the morning (bad luck).
No buying sets of four. Four is "shi" in Japanese. So is the word for death. Most tall Japanese buildings don't have a fourth floor, much like Americans omit the thirteenth floor.

Oh, and I always through salt over my shoulder, even if I haven't spilled any. With my right hand, over my left shoulder.

I have to get out of the bathtub before pulling the plug for fear of something coming out of it somehow.
