There’s no such thing as bad luck. If someone says something is bad luck, for example, if you open an umbrella indoors. Your mind becomes more conscious of everything around you and you seem to notice the bad things alot more.No matter how small the incident is.

Not realising that it would have happened anyway even if you didn’t open the umbrella!

Hope this helps

I know if the bride and groom see each other on their wedding day it’s supposed to be bad luck. I don’t know what happens but I’m guessing it means the marriage will go wrong.

I’m not superstitious, but the following happened to make me maybe think twice.
It’s said it’s bad luck to remove a swallows nest, we were re roofing our outbuildings and a swallows nest was up in one of the rafters we had to replace, we did our best not to disturb it.
There was a horrendous thunderstorm that evening, and we went out in the morning to find the nest had been washed away and 5 baby swallows were drowned……later on that morning, my neighbour found my beautiful little female ginger cat, Dakota, lying dead on the road.
Did that happen because the swallows died?
I miss my little Dakota terribly, and feel so guilty about the swallows.

Sorry but you are talking nonsense. Those are totally unrelated incidents. Sometimes bad things happen sometimes good things happen. What foot you get out of bed with will make no difference nor will any of the other bits of nonsense superstitious people come out with

Yes. As a boy when seeing an ambulance I would touch my finger and my nose and say “Touch my finger touch my nose I’ll never go in one of those.” I stopped doing this because I thought it was a bit daft. However one playtime in the school playground a boy jumped on my back unexpectedly and I collapsed with my right leg under me.The result was that I broke my leg. The date was April 13th 1949 and I was 13 years old. Although the school took me to the hospital in a taxi, I was brought home in an ambulance. Since that time I have not indulged in superstitious rituals.

I always deleted chain mail or burn it, i walk under ladders and i step on the cracks in the pavement possibly even broken a mirror a couple of times, but i have always been terribly un lucky i am the person who never wins the raffle e.c.t i guess i just wasn’t born with luck or that (what i think) life is just unfair! Nothing bad has ever really happend to me on friday the 13th either but valentines day last year i got glandula fever (called erm mono in US?) I twisted my leg or back (can’t remember) got a fail back in my coursework it was a rubish day.

The thing is i have done things for luck as well and i know they don’t work or improve anything so therefore i don’t belive in any of it.
