Are there any superstitions you still 'believe' in? [View all]

I put believe in quotes because I sincerely doubt anyone here would treat a habit as a serious spiritual practice.

But even as evolved as we are, (heh) I think there are still a few things we are prone to do that are left over from our old (material, unconscious) way of life. If anyone wants to admit them, here's your thread.

Mine: I always eat the fortune cookie (unless I don't want the fortune to come true.)

I try to avoid using the 'M' word when referring to Shakespeare's Scottish Play.

I never walk under a ladder (especially if it's near Halloween.)

Anyone else?
