Do you have any things you always have to do because you’re afraid if you don’t something bad will happen? Well it may be a superstition. The technical definition of a superstitution is a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge.
There are many types of superstitions. Some of the more common ones are:
• Friday the thirteenth = bad luck
• Itchy palm = you will get money
• Walking under a ladder = bad luck
• Breaking a mirror = bad luck
• Finding a horseshoe = good luck
But there are also more personal superstitions. For example, if you play basketball you might have to wear a special pair of socks because if you don’t you think your going to lose. After interviews, here’s what some people said their superstitions are:
• Only pick up penny on heads side.
• People have to do basketball foul shots a certain way each time
• Make sure alarm is set and check it 10 times
• Room has to be clean before going to bed
• Closet doors have to be shut
• Lacrosse stick has to be tapped a certain way
• Check every lock before going to bed
There is no factual evidence that anything bad will happen to you if you don’t do what you think is a superstition. Superstition can also be something you feel comfortable with, or just always do.
