THis is going to sound weird, but I have reversed superstitions.
Except for the mirror thing. That one's just stupid.
What I mean is, if I have a black cat cross my path, I take it as a good token. Or other little things like that. Anyone got anythiing near the same?

I've found substitions to be more valuable than any kind of superstition.

I try to always be perfectly rational. I discredit everything opposed to real hard science.
Yet, for some reason, I still find myself entering a room with the right foot before an exame

It's the opposite of superstition-that is, something that is true, yet nobody believes. Like, "It will get better if you don't pick at it."

I'm neither Superstitions nor the reverse. The number of mirrors I've broken and the fact that I owned two black cats for years and yet have had a good run of luck if anything further reinforce my believe that its all a load of crap.

Maybe they just work for you in the opposite way?

I know superstitions are a load of crap. But I still knock on wood.
Since I like cats, Im not afraid of black ones and actually prefer them because you dont notice their hair as much, if they sleep on your clean clothes.

I'm not superstitios. In Japan, having a black cat cross your path is good luck. Some cultures have reversed superstitions.
Knock on wood... I'm sure someone will find something sick with that.
