I am not particularly superstitious but for fun my friends and I used to hit the roof of the car if you were running an orange light. I think it was just a silly thing to do rather than a superstition.
But when I went to Peru last month I noticed that these people are incredibly superstitious. A NOTE to those who are reading! Don't pass the salt to anyone, hand to hand; always place it back on the table in front of the person who asked for the salt so that they can pick it up. If you don't know this little piece of vital information you might just find yourself waiting for a long time until some tells you to put the salt back on the table! No one will take it front you because it is terribly bad luck!
The Andean people have also a unique religion based on a fusion or rituals, superstitions, Roman Catholic practices and some hidden symbolisms from the time that their religious was suppressed by the Spanish Invaders.

No! - she can justify it by listing the characteristics she identifies. She's a Taurus which means nothing to me but she found my mother difficult from about thirty seconds into their first meeting. She hadn't asked me her date of birth but she instinctively sensed she was also a Taurus (correct). They don't get on, apparently (Tauruses with Tauruses).
Please don't ask me to explain or justify it - I think it's creepy beyond belief - but I can swear to her accuracy!

I'm not superstitious but I do have my rituals. I will only fly first class and I wont attend any sporting event unless i'm in the front row. I rarely go to bars anymore but when I did I always sat at the end of the bar with my back to a wall. I never sit in the back seat of cars and rarely drive anywhere unless i'm doing the driving. I don't like my picture taken and prefer to eat off of square plates.

I doubt you've ever flown first class, and as for plates, I'd be suprised if you've ever eaten from anything other the polystyrene boxes...
And won't go anywhere unless you're driving? Need friends, Bubba, first before they will get in a vehicle with you. Bet you either have a Dodge Ram or a Suburban- the Red neck transportayshun of choice.

That said, I do not believe in ghosts, UFOs, mediums, seeing the future, or anything like that.

In addition to using the Chinese year-based system (eg Year of the Dragon), the Japanese also attribute charachter traits to blood type. Every Japanese person knows his or her blood type, and the characteristics that go with it. I'm A+, and like everything neat and ordered, which is one of the traits. Can't remember the others...

There is a marvellous book called The Blue Eyed Salaryman in which a European working for a Japanese company, after having a yearly medical was told he had an eye problem: Yep, the company's eye scanner wasn't used to blue eyes and registered a problem....
