Ingrained superstitions.
48 Answers
I consider myself to be a logical and reasonably sane person but I can't get away from some daft superstitious behaviour that has been ingrained in me since I was a child.
For example, if i put something on back to front, I have to take it off and turn a full circle before I put it on again. Also, I won't cut my nails on Friday or Sunday because it's bad luck to do so.
And............I always throw some salt over my shoulder if I spill some.
Do any of you have the same or similar 'problem' with illogical behaviour?

The only one that stuck with me is saying, 'Good morning, Mr Magpie, how's your lady wife?' Which I think is about invoking two magpies (for joy) as opposed to one (for sorrow). But that's force of habit rather than a superstition. (I think.)
I used to go out with a guy who wouldn't cut his nails on a Sunday. That was because his granny had told him that the devil would put them in people's shepherds pies on Monday.
