1) If you and someone else (friend or lover) walk on opposite sides of a pole, it could mean that you will be separated/your friendship will diminish sometime in the future. So yes, I make people walk back around onto my side of the pole.
2) My mom always told me never to count the money I am going to earn ahead of time because it is just plain bad luck, aka you won't have any money to count in the future.
3) The classic one, "knock on wood". I kinda take it to the next level, if there is no wood around, you are supposed to knock on your head (don't ask why). Or sometimes I will spit over my left shoulder (subtley of course).
4) When I listen to music in the car, the volume has to be on an even number. Again, don't ask why, it's just some stupid thing I picked up somewhere.
5) Can't open an umbrella in a house, it's bad luck.
6) I try not to put my purse on the floor/ ground because it means you lose money or something.
7) My mom always tells me to spit (not like legit hawk and spit) on cash or newly bought items because it will bring you more of them.
8) My neighbor who is from Denmark told me that if it rains on your birthday it means you were bad that year...I still kinda believe that lol. Also, if it rains on the day of your wedding it means you'll have lots of money.
9) Friday the 13th scares me, I try to be careful on that day.
10) If you have a dream about someone, it means that they are thinking/talking about you.
11) It's bad luck to pick a penny up off the ground when the tails side is up. Only pick it up when it's heads.
12) Oh and last one, karma. I totally believe in it, I am always afraid to do something bad/revengeful to someone (only when they deserve it of course) because I feel like it will come back to haunt me. I just believe that karma will do it's job.
I might be lame to believe in these things but I can't help it. Surprisingly, I do not believe in the black cat superstition, walking under a ladder or break a mirror seven years of bad luck superstition. Also, I found this website that has tons of superstitions and some of them are pretty funny, check it out!

Haha I loved this post! My husband is pretty superstitious too, he is always knocking on wood, and while watching a football or basketball game he will think that he can actually have an affect on the game by holding his laptop a certain way, or not changing positions in how he is sitting... weird things like that. ha! BTW thanks for your sweet comment on my blog post! We are so excited.
