I have 2 main ones:

- Opening an umbrella inside. You can open an umbrella inside but it MUST be done upside down. You can't leave it "right way up" while inside. It will "catch" all the good luck if it's upside down, and tips it all the other way

- If you have a statue or image of an elephant, it's trunk must curve upwards for good luck

laughing.gif I can't believe you had to count the fruits again on the photo!

We were also told as kids to pinch and pull our nose so it won't remain flat. You know Filipinos are not known to have very attractive nose structure. I've never heard of the duck belief until today.

- If you sleep while your hair is wet, you'd become a lunatic or you'd lose your eyesight.

- If there is a kalachuchi plant anywhere near your house, one of the single ladies in your family would remain a spinster for life.

- If you raise bunnies, someone in your family would give birth nonstop.

- As a remedy for a baby's hiccups, pull a string or thread from his or her shirt, wet the string/thread with your saliva, and rub the thread/string on the baby's forehead. Ick!!!

- Spaghetti or some other long noodles should be cooked during someone's birthday so that person will have a longer life.

- The bigger and longer your ears are, the longer your life will be.

- Stepping over chicken manure after circumcision worsens the wound and will make it redder.

OMG.

I'm not a male, but if I was, I wouldn't want to know what that feels like. :lol:

I've heard of the one where you shouldn't clip your nails at night as a previous member said.

The one about the ears, we used to be told that when children are young, mothers should take some oil in their hands and massage their kid's ears to make them long and pretty, plus it has something to do with being a better listener or something...

That superstitious belief is really outrageous. I remember a few more superstitions that are worse than that but I'll stop sharing now because it might gross you out. wacko.gif

It's bad luck to step on bread crumbs. My hubby told me that. I'm sure there are others he will tell me in time.

These are all so amazing to hear! Some of them seem so unreal, but also fascinating. I was never one to believe in superstitions, though I do catch myself believing in jinxes and that saying things aloud will jinx/curse it.

sleeping with wet hair will make you blind.

stepping over some one who is laying down will prevent them from growing tall.
