Superstitions.

I don't know how many other people are like this, but I'm one of those weird people who are only superstitious when it works for them. Like the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck." Of course I'll pick up a penny. But the fear of a black cat crossing your path? WTF? I don't even think about that. I did some horoscope thing on Facebook, and it said that I would meet the man of my dreams on Friday. I normally don't put a lot of stock into daily horoscopes (although I do believe in astrology), but after reading that, I figured - what's the harm in believing in it for a few days? lol. I'm such a dork. *sigh* So anywho... Friday is two days away - wish me luck. :wink:

It's a good thing I don't believe that superstition about black cats crossing my path - a black cat crosses my path all the time! She happens to be MY black cat. :)
 
Superstitions like that only work because regular stuff that happens to you seems unlucky or lucky because you think it is.

If you find a penny and then go shopping and find a cute pair of shoes on sale, you might think, "Oh, that's lucky, they're jsut my size" when really they would be there if you picked up teh penny or not.

Horoscopes are a whole different issue and most are designed to be true in most cases. A lot of horoscopes will say "Beware, you will face troubles with someone you love." or some random thing like that. Then later if you have a fight with your partner, or friend, or family member, etc. you will think "Oh, my horoscope was true." But when you think about it, people get in arguments all the time, and it is most likely going to happen to you sometime throughout the week, no matter how minor.

Superstitions/horoscopes are bullcrap. :]

I'm only supersticious whenever I can't deny that weird things are happening around me. I do the penny thing, I'm leary when a black cat crosses my path...but I always throw salt over the wrong damn shoulder.
