for example, we think, pouring salt on the floor brings bad luck. and i think no logic justifies it!


after sneezing , we stop for some seconds. we know sneezing, as a symbol of waiting.

Hmmm. Interesting topic, actually. Me personally don’t believe in any of these superstitions. But I’ll tell you some just for fun. For instance, if a black cat crosses your way and you see it, it means you’ll face sth bad or unlucky that day. Then, if your nose itches, it means someone misses you. If your right hand itches, you’ll get money soon. If you come just at the moment of dinner, so your mother-in-law will love you. When you work in the kitchen, if you make much noise, your mother -in-love will be peevish. There so many of them, these are just a part.
