Are you superstitious?
I'm just crazy. That in itself overrides any superstitious traits I may have unbeknownst to me.

2. I say I'm not
But then I notice all these little weird quirks about myself.

3. I believe everything bad happens in 3's.
#1 Cardinals lose the world series..
#2 **** "wins" the election..
#3 nothing so far, but I'm sure it will happen soon.

7. See, that's the problem with that... you will wait until five thousand
other things happen before deciding that the 5,001st one fits your criteria, and suddenly, it's "see, things happen in threes!" :)

4. I am a rationalist, and an atheist, and don't have a superstitious
bone in my body.

But I never put my hat on the bed, never whistle backstage, and always say 'break a leg' instead of 'good luck'.

5. I'm antisuperstitious
I open umbrellas indoors, say jinxes outloud, and own a black cat who crosses my path 10000 times a day.

I do think bad things come in threes, however.

6. I'm not superstitious, but
if I spill salt, I always throw a pinch of it over my left shoulder cause my Gramma always did. :shrug:

8. Not in any way, manner, or form. Though I have to remember
to keep my hats off the bed because my wife has some sort of superstition about that and I want to keep the peace.

11. I'm not, but my partner is
It drives me nuts to get cut off just as I'm about to say something the least bit inviting disaster. It's quite annoying.
