Are you superstitious?

Are you superstitious in sports or in everyday life? What are the special rituals you do? My grandmother thought that if you stepped over someone who was laying on the floor, you'd stunt their growth. She'd make us walk back over..

I am superstitious. I believe in not saying things to someone that you would regret if that were the last thing they ever heard from you. Doesn't always work, but is a good tool for biting your tongue at times.

I don't believe in Superstitious. I view every aspect in scientific view. Although my parents are still superstitious,I find myself in a difficult position in arguing them for showing ignorance in the laws of nature. I think no matter which part of the world you tour, you will find the natives nurturing certain beliefs and superstitions and my dwelling place is no exception in this case. Though our society is fast progressing, there are many people who are still superstitious and have a strong faith in the local beliefs. While some of them are quite hilarious, few others are really interesting, as many aspects of life are linked to them. Few beliefs even find their way into the religious texts and scriptures. One of the height of Superstitious is a Man marrying a female dog. http://www.gadling.com/2007/11/15/heights-of-superstitious-india-man-marries-dog/

I am superstitious sometimes but not a whole lot. I have always heard that walking under a ladder is bad luck so I avoid it. I heard if a black cat crosses your path, that is also bad luck so I avoid them also. I have heard not to step over someone laying on the floor also because it causes bad luck too. We always had to step back over also.
