It is lucky to knock on wood
Unlucky to walk under a ladder
A Four leaf clover is incredibly lucky
Seven years bad luck if you break a mirror!
Friday the 13th is unlucky, as is the number
"Don't open that umbrella indoors young man!"
Horseshoes are very lucky
Bride and Groom must not meet on the day of the wedding
Unlucky to spill salt
Meeting a black cat is very lucky

Utter filth.Look, I'm not saying that the people of Newcastle should be rounded up, stuffed into a rocket and fired into the Sun, but... actually, no, that is exactly what I am saying.
I used to be superstitious until i was about 12. My Ma still is. I used to believe in this omnipotent being who created everything & then sat back for a millenia doing nothing while his chosen people slaughtered the ever loving smurf out of eachother constantly.
I was cured of this superstition at quite a younger age than most here simply by asking the wrong people the right questions.

knocking on wood is the only one I particularly do.
I REALLY SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE MEYou're a right grumpus you are.
Friday the 13th. I never liked that day. Beginning of every year, I go through the calender and request every single day off that's Friday the 13th.
Sometimes I feel like things are bad signs. For instance, if I wake up and realize I left my coffee travel mug at work: bad sign. If there's a fight in the morning before first period: bad sign.
I believe you mean: meeting a black cat is very lucky because it means there's about to be glorious wildcat strikes and revolutions and solidarity
As for me: When I was a kid my mom told me that saying "rabbit" as soon as you wake up, on the first day of every month, was lucky. I still do it sometimes, but not because I believe in the luck so much as it's fun to see if I can remember!
Other than that I am not superstitious in the slightest. I never really believed that sort of thing. Except for the Easter Bunny. I was convinced the Easter Bunny was real until I was like 15.
