Does anyone here have any stupid, irrational superstitions?

If you see money on the ground, pick it up and mark that spot with an X. Later that day, you'll be sure to find money. This is stupid and irrational, but it works!

I have this irrational superstition that if I ever use a countdown on my superweapons, some plucky hero type person will infiltrate my evil lair and stop it with 1 second left, therefore I never employ countdowns.

No superstitions hear, just plenty of nice...healthy...paranoia...

On my super and Uberweapons, stopping the countdown is what actually causes them to activate.

Edit: On second thought, I also have this superstition that jobs done by my underlings will always be done badly, so I'll do it myself!

Mostly ciricket related:

Don't talk about how well a batsman is batting - they will get out.

Don't talk about how good a batsman is before he bats - he'll get out for a low score.

Don't let the captain express any definite plans on 'what we will do when we beat the follow-on' or 'what we will do when we pass their score' or similar situations - whatever condition the plan hinges on will not be achieved.

Don't let Dave umpire.

(OK, that last in neither irrational, stupid, nor a superstition. It is, however, very good advice)

aaah... sports, well back in the days when i played baseball, we used to hang up a dead fish near our dug out. befor batting everybody had to touch the fish with his bat for good luck.

Ahh I see this was to get rid of the Catch right

Bet you then tried to touch the bat to his lips(Preably while swining at a pitch) for luck to right?

we needed the bat to smell like the catchers wife, so he´d touch it and we´d get a base on catchers interference.

I only hold the "traditional" superstitions of a region and culture that I might be visiting in order to fit in better and not to offend them. Other than that...

Well what they say about crazy people and full moons is true. Its not a true "superstition" but I thought I coud still work it in.

I have a superstition that the women of this world are united in one big orginazation to keep themselves from dating me. But, that's more of a conspiracy theory. I believe it because whenever I'm within 10 feet of a single woman, they suddenly become a lesbian, or get a boyfriend.
