Are you superstitious?

[JWRosser]

This idea arose literally 2 minutes ago when one of my housemates exclaimed "Oh no I put my new shoes on the table!"
Yeah, she's incredibly superstitious and it pees me off. Every time we see a magpie she salutes or we have to link her fingers or something weird.

As is highlighted in Danny Wallace's book More Awkward Situations for Men, I'm sure that whatever diety looks over the world of 'bad luck' doesn't have time to cast a curse on every single man whom's path is crossed by a black cat, or fails to salute a magpie, or spills salt.


So what do you think? Are you superstitious? And if so, why, and to what extent?

Mostly to the extent of not proclaiming anything that has a reasonable chance of being not true or not happening. Kind of a generalized, "I see absolutely no way in which this can go wrong," sort of thing. I wait for the results to make my statements.

It's bad luck to say you're superstitious.
