Are you the superstitious type?
Walking under a ladder, having a black cat cross your path, spilling some salt, breaking a mirror. Would you avoid doing all these things or is it all superstitious mumbojumbo to you?

I wouldnt walk under a ladder incase someone dropped a tin of paint on me. I wouldnt want a black cat to cross my path if it was dark because I wouldnt see it and might trip over it. Spilling salt is just messy and best avoided. I wouldnt want to break a mirror because I might cut myself.
I dont believe in superstition at all.
Edit:- I do think that certain objects that are used as "lucky charms" can have a psychological effect such as wearing some lucky football boots makes you have more confidence in a football game and you may end up doing better but I dont think the boots physically do anything to bring luck.

A few months back I was at a work do, my friend and I went to the toilet and on the way down some woman passed us on the stairs and said 'You should never pass on the stairs, you won't ever get married'
What's that all about? Maybe it is true! I'll let you know in 40 years!

I don't know. Do feel uncomfortable travelling over railway lines without my feet both being in the air.
Odd, but it's actually appearing to make me luckier...

I believe being superstitious is bad luck.
Actually, Phil Gordon believes being superstitious is bad luck.
Or at least he says he does in his book.
I had slipped into a couple of superstitions a little while ago. I had also started to allow chance to 'pursuade' me into some decisions - little things that hinted at one course of action.
But I had a go at the 'do something every day that scares you', which pretty quickly got watered down to doing something every day that takes you out of your comfort zone, and all that trash was easy targets for the day's quota.
I think it's more about habit than belief. Once you break the pattern of behaviour all that trash falls away.
