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.

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!

I forgot about pididdle!!!!

What about slug bugs (hitting someone in the car if you see a bug first..the car) & accidentally driving through yellow or red lights? Knock on the window?

Same goes for lifting your feet when driving over railroad tracks...

In Pittsburgh in the early 60's, if the boy said pididdle first, he got to kiss you. If the girl was first, she got to slug him.

Omg, my words were always, "One Eye". Drove my ex-husband crazy lol.

all correct... except it"s bediddle... sorry but you've been getting bad luck for years...

And a taillight is pidunk!

Perhaps it was because we were in our late teens, but we always said the person who yelled paddiddle first could choose whether to punch or kiss the other.

We had several pididdle superstitions. If you saw one with family you had to sock someone in the arm, first, to get good luck. If you were with a date, a kiss. Padiddles are great.

A group of my friends in high school had a different word for which light was out - pididdle was like the front driver side, pidoddle was the front passenger, and the back lights were pidonkle and pidinkle or something silly. And I think they used to punch each other in the arm if they were the first one to see it and call it out.

You have to lick your thumb and put it on the ceiling of the car if you're going to do it right....

With us it was "Bingo!"

I haven't heard, "pididdle' in a LONG time! My mom didn't do the 'touch the sealing' thing, but she would always say "pididlle"!

Gee, I thought it was "perdiddle." Two lights out, "el did rap."

Do you know all the variations of padidle?

I do that going over railroad tracks lol

Okay I’m leaving this thread before I end up like this lol

You have to take your dog out in the morning so it can piddle. Add poop.

We always called that Popeye. Same game though except we kept points.

Had a friend in uni that would tap the roof of her car every time she ran a red light (which she did far too frequently) because she believed if she didn't then she wouldn't be able to have sex....it was weird.

I suppose you have to touch the ceiling of your own car, not the one with the missing headlight? 🤔 🤣

dumb why will the driver stop the car for you?

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)
