Strange Superstition
The theme of this week's Sunday Scribblings is "Superstition". I have a weird one. Some people don't walk under ladders or walk on cracks but I don't like to walk over those blue and white wheelchair signs painted on parking lot pavement. Now, before you think I'm completely crazy I will say that I do walk across these signs at times because I recognize that it's ridiculous to avoid them but I don't like walking over them. What's the deal you ask? I am not completely certain except that somewhere in my mind I think that walking across a symbol of someone in a wheelchair increases my chances of ending up in one. I know that's ridiculous and not at all logical but it is what it is. I also know that if I did end up in a wheelchair I would be able to deal with it. I just don't particularly like the idea.
Believe it or not, this is my one and only superstition. I think of 13 as a lucky number and black cats are great. Ladders are just ladders and so on. I don't have to wear a lucky piece of clothing when I run a race. I just have the odd wheelchair symbol thing. What about you? Are you superstitious?

Now that a new one but I don't judge other's supersitions ;)
I am supersititous although selectively. I don't walk under ladders, but not afraid of black cats. I don't like walking over the subway grates or parking over drains. I feel like it's going to give way and suck me down.
Michelle,
I'm not supersticious at all. Yours isn't so bad. Some people are paralyzed by their superstitions.

Yours is a new and interesting superstition.
No, I'm not at all superstitious, but I do like reading/hearing about other's little obsessions!
I have to chew gum when I play tennis. I can't concentrate otherwise.
I have never heard of a superstition like yours. In general I'm not very superstitious, but sometimes one will surface. Like right now I have something going on that I don't want to talk about to anyone because I don't want to jinx it. What's that about? I think maybe it's less superstition than not wanting to look like a loser if this thing doesn't pan out.
So you have it. Nothing wrong with it.
i hold my breath when we drive past cemeteries. someone told me in highschool it would keep the spirits from entering your body. Now when I go to an actual cemetery that doesn't work but by then it doesn't matter. I get the spiritworld all over me.
Where I'm really superstitious is when something unpleasant happens and I want to feel sorry for myself a bit and then superstition overwhelms me and says: you want to make a big deal of out this? Just wait what more I could pile on you...
That scares me and I straighten up real quick!
