I mean genuinely truly believe in superstitions and not just someone who goes along with it because they think it is harmless fun.

And in a related note, does anyone truly believe in horoscopes?

No I'm not superstitious, but weirdly I get myself into positions I once dreamt about (no, not like that Millhouse, Scamp etal).

As for horoscopes. Total load of bollocks, if they're that good why doesn't mystic meg win the lottery every week?

Spugsy

If they are either than they are idiots.

Supersititious? Of course not - crosses fingers and touches wood

I salute Magpies and when I played football I was always 1st out and never put the ball in the net before a game.

I totally agree. Some people here are superstitious.

Nah.

Used to have little rituals but I don't think they are superstitious. More just a way of preparing for someting, like listening to the same few songs whilst getting changed for sports matches, not putting something on until the last moment.

Not superstitous but probably not normal.

Which makes me curious on level of superstition amongst different cultures.
I know South Asians are superstitious lot, but what about Emiratis , Filipinos, non Khaleeji Arabs?

ROFL! Thats superstition in a nutshell. Did you also wear 'special pants' or socks until you lost, then you'd change them?

Boomhauer

Maybee he just had OCD

scrubbedexpat141

Nope.

Not sure it is, it's routine.

Like I put my trousers on after my pants, but before my socks and shoes and my shirt is always last to go on.

I don't count that as superstition.

mikewot

If you put the same clothes on its superstition, like listening to the same tracks which is what you stated :-) Sorry mate but you're superstitious

BTW Shirt last on? Then you've got to unfasten your trousers to tuck it in. Unless you go Lebbo style and leave it hanging out ;-)

Meow

Scamp's not superstitious; he's just got a touch of OCD!

scrubbedexpat141

Meh. Same three or four tracks to get me to focus on the game isn't superstition.

It's superstition to think that if I wear these socks and don't wash them when we win, that I'll be lucky again next time.

Yeah, I don't do my trousers up. I just do the zip half way. My cock holds them up (it's that big you see).

Only rock the topless look while I'm tying my laces...

Presumably the question also applies to the major organised superstitions of mainly ancient and medieval origin with particularly ludicrous beliefs and rituals?
