It's that day of dread when people fear the worst. That day of universal superstition.
Are you superstitious? I'm not, but most people are.
I'll begin with some I've heard.
Bering sea fisherman have lots of superstitions. They will not leave port on a Friday. Bananas are never allowed on a boat. Like many sports figures, they have an item they keep with them on the boat at all times.
Others:
The number 13 is unlucky and a Friday the 13th is especially so. Most buildings don't have floors numbered 13.
Breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck.
Avoid black cats.
Bad luck comes in threes.
Never open an umbrella inside.
Don't spill salt.
An itch on left palm means you'll get money. The right - a new friend. Itchy feet mean aa trip.
What are your superstitions? Do you take them seriously? Are there others you've heard of? Tell all!
