Today is Friday the 13th - What Superstitions do you have

[Bob Moyer]

I do not walk under any ladders, other than that, I can't think of any others.

I am well known at work for my logical breakdown of problems - but, I do believe in ghosts and believe that we can occasionally see the future - not just in general, but specific actions. I once saw an accident, and the response about two minutes before it occurred - just enough time to describe it to my friends before we all saw it happen. Not really a superstition except in the sense that it is something that I believe without any scientific proof.

BTW, I would consider not walking under ladders just good sense. mh

Superstitions for Fri 13:

1. I'll have a meaningless fight with my wife
2. Our company's computer network will fail unexpectedly
3. An expensive piece of lab equipment will fail unexpectedly
4. We'll find out that 2008 rates for healthcare coverage are 18% higher than 2007.

And of course, they all DID happen today.

Superstitions for Fri 13:

1. I'll have a meaningless fight with my wife

I'm afraid I'll find out there is something other than a "meaningless" fight with my wife. LOL

None...
knocking on wood...tying a knot in a handkerchief ... fingers crossed ... God bless everyone who sneezed today ... searching for 4 leaf clovers while waiting for a bird to do do on my head while walking in the rain ... counter clockwise...

[Steve Clardy]

None...............

[Greg Cole]

No hair cuts or clean shaven face for me during Stanley Cup playoffs. I also "have" to wear the same jersey & hat for all playoff games too.
Other than that, none.

My mother is having a small surgery on her hand today, and I suggested she put it off til Monday..... no real reason though.

Why is it that a sneeze warrants a God Bless you and passing gas is a looked down upon.

[Mike SoRelle]

None, but I don't walk under ladders just because I've been on too many jobsites with too many things falling from them, like conduit, boxes, drills, batteries, bits, paint, mud knives, you name it.

[Paul Brinkmeyer]

I didn't have any until I opened my e-mail today and found out a salesman I trusted went behind my back and spilled the beans to the factory. I'm sure my working relationship with this company will drop into the sewer.
It's is my fault, I forgot the golden rule about salesman, and how can you tell when they are lying.

[Larry Fox]

I have this constant and irrational fear that I won't be able to go out into my shop pop a beer and listen to the weekly Friday night Surf Music show on the XM Punk rock station. But, every Friday ... there I am ... I hear it is best to face one's fears. Happy Friday

[Glenn Clabo]

Dunno who you hang around with Bob...but there is a certain appreciation for those who have that ability toot a fine tune around here. Of course...the people I hang around like to ride in big long steel boats deep in the ocean for long periods of time...so...

[Greg Heppeard]

I was told that if you shoot yourself in the finger with a nail gun, put the bloody nail in your wallet and carry it with you and you'll never do it again. It's worked for 12 years, DAMHIKT

[Chris Padilla]

I'm superstitious of people who are superstitious.

BTW, today is my mother's birthday...she was born in 1946...on a Thursday. Cutting it close, she was!
