Superstitions

[BigDaddy]

When in the car, I always lift my feet off the floor when travelling over train tracks, particularly on the way to a footy game. Have no idea why. I did it when I was a little kid and have done it ever since. The bride still laughs at me for it!!

Thats a beauty BD!!

[BigDaddy]

Thanks CP. I have had more than one strange look from a couple of Exec at work when travelling to Christmas shows recently!!

[JK]

LMAO Im still laughing at that, dunno why but seems to have hit me on the funnybone

My Mum does that !

Not sure of the reason. I should ask her !!

[therisingblues]

I knew a guy at school that did the train track thing.
Why is that?

I do the train line thing too, especially when travelling to footy.
I do it out of a habit that formed about 10 years ago when I used to sail at Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club. When travelling to the club on Saturdays with some mates, we used to lift our legs when we went over the train line on Wheatland St at Seacliff. It was explained to me by the mate that introduced it, that it was good luck for the race, eg no gear breaking or not getting smashed on the head by the boom etc!!!

If you put a black cat in the microwave it's supposed to be bad luck for the cat.

You could put a white cat in the microwave and it might come out black.

Is it only as a passenger you do it, or does it apply even if you're the driver?

The way this week has turned out so far, I hope the old "Things happen in 3's" is a crock of shite!!

I have a few routines on the sports field. Mainly right boot, spikes or pad/glove before left.

However the most weirdest one I have and I don't have a reason for is that I always must set an alarm clock for 31 minutes past the hour and nothing else

[The Ash Man]

Always put your socks on before your boots

[A Mum]

Touching wood..... ie when you've said something that hasn't happened and you dont want it to happen etc

[Dogwatcher]

I do the train line thing.
I also wear no jocks when I play footy. I used to wear bike pants but they got ripped apart. Had no jocks on and haven't worn them ever since.
When I get dressed in the morning jocks, pants, socks then shoes go on before I put on my shirt.
I'm not really superstitious - it's just habit that I do these things.

Football shorts are getting longer,but have in the 'large' been fairly short.

How do you 'tackle' this little problem?

[JK]

Dressing order must always be Jocks, socks, top, trousers, shoes, however the shoes must be done up before the pants are.

[Booney]

Jocks,pants,socks,shoes then shirt and tie last.

[Q.]

I think the title of this thread should actually be "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder".

My OCD quirk is the volume level in my car can only be an even number unless it is a multiple of five.

I do it no matter what. It makes driving hard if you need to brake, but I don't want any bad luck!

I've got the same thing but with the tv volume. I especially don't like the volume to be on a prime number.

We get called obssesive for dressing in an order like we do,yet....^^^
