It's Friday the thirteenth...are you superstitious?

[Jace]

Well..are you?

I don't 'push my luck'

 

[jujube]

I wouldn't call myself "superstitious" per se, but there are certain things that I *will not* do, such as lay a hat on a bed.

My grandma was very superstitious and drummed some things firmly into my psyche.

 

[Pinky]

I consider it a "good luck day"

 

[Jace]

I consider it a "good luck day"

Good for you!

 

[RadishRose]

No, I'm not superstitious.
I hope everyone enjoys this Friday!

I saw this on the Internet, so it must be true:

 

[Supernatural]

The 13th as a number has always been lucky for our families. I currently have a black cat. No, I'm not superstitious.

 

[Packerjohn]

I'm too well read, too well traveled and just plain too old to believe in any kind of baloney.

You can keep your tooth fairies, Santa Clauses, various devils and your Friday, the 13th. I don't believe in them because they sure don't believe in me.

There is way too much to fear in the real world; so I don't fear nor worry about the make believ world.

 

[-Oy-]

Nope

[Jace]

Oh! Such good ones!

 

[Llynn]

Absolutely not.

I can't deny it, it was a good movie. Well, for a horror fan such as myself.

But as anything else, no.

Weirdly though, I was chatting with a neighbor yesterday. We were sitting on a bench outside in a covered area as the rain fell. He's got all kinds of ailments, poor guy. He had a symptom I have, only his got much much worse. I said something along the lines of, "that's sad, mine never got that bad", when I found myself, reflexively touching wood. See, even when you consider yourself rational, those lessons drilled into you resurface.

@jujube..yes, my Mom, too..re: hat on bed.
Wonder where that...came from?

 

[chic]

Yes, I am superstitious. If you like that word. I think of myself as cautious.

 

[jujube]

@jujube..yes, my Mom, too..re: hat on bed.
Wonder where that...came from?

I don't know.....maybe because you might sit on it?

She had a lot of others, like not giving a gift of a knife without also giving money along with it, not walking around the house wearing only one shoe, and always leaving by the door you came in.

 

[Jace]

@jujube..hadn't heard of those except the 'door one'

When I was in elementary, I won the school contest for selling the most candy on Friday the 13th. On that same day, Mom won a contest on the radio.

The best Friday the 13th for me was the day my daughter was born.

 

[Bella]

It's Friday the thirteenth...are you superstitious?

Well..are you?

Nah, 13 is one of my lucky numbers.

​

 

[Rakaia]

I met my wife on Friday 13th, given that we married on Leap Year's day, some years we get 3 anniversaries.

 

[Nathan]

Lol, no superstitions here.

 

[seadoug]

Not at all. I was born on Halloween and have adopted a couple of black cats. I sometimes feel like the luckiest person in the world because I enjoy my life.

 

[dilettante]

It has never bothered me. But hey, rather than feeling left out that gives me one more thing to feel good about. Thanks!

 

[Warrigal]

Friday the 13th was yesterday where I live.
Can't say I noticed an unusual amount of bad luck taking place.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I may be just a tad superstitious, but not about Friday the 13th. But I will admit, I won't spray my mouthwash 13 times..it has to be either 12 or 14.
