This is not superstition, it's smart! Keep them on your side.

If my pets sneeze, I bless them.

I go by 5's - don't ask why, 'cause I dunno.

My mother told me this one too.

I bought a wallet from a small business and the woman dropped a penny in it, saying it was bad financial luck not to

Yes, so it will be always full ☺️

This is universal.

My tradition is I give each of my grandchildren a piggy bank on their first birthday. I always add all the change I have on hand to it, before giving it.

Iirc giving someoneca totally empty wallet as a gift was a bad luck thing.

I grew up with this one as well.

Piggy banks too

I always do

I always make it a gold coin, and for a knife set., 5 cents for each blade.

All my purses or bags have money in them.

Just stick an I owe you in it lol

Good, cuz it's bad luck to give an empty wallet/piggy bank. Not that I'm superstitious 😉

This is a very old superstotion. I think it's based on encouraging more money to join what was in there to start with.

Same in Poland. Everyone does that :)

never heard it. but it's kinda sweet.

I've never heard this before, when I give a washer I normally add gift cards though.

I remember people did this when I was a young 'un

That’s very common, for me I was taught that if you give anyone something that holds money, no matter what, you have to put money into it, the more you give the better they deal with money, but just token amounts like £1 or so

I do know this from a turkish friend. It's right up with paying 10ct for shoes because they do not take them as a gift.

And always put a penny in your loafers.

Of course!

Same here in the UK. I'll not accept a new wallet from my wife, unless she has at least put a penny in it.

That's not superstition - anything outside the borders of the bed IS fair game.

I used to do this until I realized my steak was better when it wasn't cold yet

This is not superstition. Lightning can travel through plumbing. Wouldn't be the first time.

Oddly, every day I happen to look at the clock at exactly 12:34. I see it every day.

When I was 10 I went to the beach with a friend and her family. She had the superstition that you hold your breath going over a bridge or through a tunnel. We rapidly expanded the superstition to include "when passing cemeteries" and a bunch of other random stuff. Eventually, her increasingly annoyed dad told us we had to hold our breath every time we saw a tree (we were traveling through the mountains of western North Carolina).

Well, it was someone in her close circle, that's for sure

I used to so do the same and if I felt like I showed too much attention to one then I had to have one on ones with all of them.

And what happens if you don't?

Why did I read the last sentence in Phoebe's voice?? lol

'My knock will find its wood' - that's oddly wholesome

At 6 years old???

I literally jyst taught my kids this about a week ago.

I like this one!

Cool! I haven’t heard of this one before!

No more dip for you!

I would too 😂 I’m a scaredy-cat!

I never look ahead on a calender so the picture for the months is a "surprise" if I have to write something for the next month I just slide the page up so I can't peek

omg i do this too

That escalated quickly

Schroedingers Jack

I do the same thing.

Athletes and coaches are some of the most superstitious people.

This is probably related to "if I keep my feet under the covers, monsters won't be able to grab me"

Wow!

But what if there are five?

Is your grandpa Red Green? (Canadian comedian/author/actor)

This is OCD

I just kiss the floor with my gas pedal to ensure I'm through while it's yellow haha

And now your friend is a superhero
