Strange Superstitions

[Arthos]

I refuse to intentionally kill anything unless it threatens my health, IE mosquitos(screw you West Nile!) or if I was to be attacked by something and killing it was the only way)
I don't know if this falls into the superstition category or not, but I'll still say it.

Actually, I'm the same way.

I can't stand harming things.

I'm incredibly peaceful individual. I'm an Interpersonal Pacifist. I wouldn't harm a person unless absolutly neccesary. THe whole bit with Karma and stuff.

I've got strange reflexes I shouldnt be able to have =/ And strangely, when someone or something makes a noise behind me, my left ear twitches backwards. Amd I won't use my full strength on people at all, even if they say "Hit me with all you got" unless they are threatening me or attacked me =/ Also, I instincively wake up at a certain time in the morning, exactly the time I need or want =/ Seems strange to me =|

Same to me. Often when I set my alarm-clock, and go to sleep, I wake up 5-10 minutes before it rings. It's strange, there must be a real inner clock
Hm.. and well, that's not really a superstitution, but since you also talk about such things: Once, years ago, my family and me played a game called "Tabu". In 2 teams play against each other. There's always one player trying to explain a specific word to others, but he mustn't use the word itself plus some other specified words in his explanation. Simple, but fun. Well, this time when we played it, my mother was just starting to explain a word to me. She didn't say much then, and what she said could've explained any existing word. But I suddenly just thought and said "highway" (actually i said the german word for it because i am german..) - and it was right. I normally don't say any word that comes to my mind in this game until I'm more or less sure that it's right, at least I don't just say a word when it still could be any word. But somehow I thought it was "highway", and it was right. That's really strange. For sure, it could've been that my mother always explained this word the same way, so I already knew what she was about to say because we used to play this game pretty often. But I'm not sure..

Also not a superstitution, but I'm as peaceful as you guys talking about it are. You can annoy me quite fast and easily, but still I couldn't just hit somebody or something because of this, although I could really want to. I even had a guilty conscience once because of killing a gnat by reflex. And you can make me have such a guilty conscience very easily. And I never take the last thing of anything, for example ice at home. If there's one left, I won't take it, because I think that there might be anyone else who would like to have this ice as well. So if I'd take it, i'd have a guilty conscience. So I just won't take it. Perhaps I think of the others too much, but I find it okay.

 

[Eon]

I am a believer in Karma..

Superstitions ..hmm.......just karma I guess .

I do believe that some areas have paranormal activity around my friends house D:

And uhm..just a message for those of you who read those AIM chain letters

"if u send this to 11 ppl ur tru luv will call u tomorrow im serious it rly works!"

"if u send this 2 15 ppl in 10 mins ur luv will ask u out, if not ill ****in kill your ass while u sleep."

Yea, I've broken so many of those.

 

[RavenTrunks]

I used to have a strange superstition. When I walked on the streets, I alllways put one foot on one tile. I allways avoided stepping on more at the same time. Whenever i did hit 2 or more, I was convinced something awefull was going to happen.

i did the same when i was younger.

And about the person who said somehting about mind reading, ive had the same feeling as well, ill be randomly thinking of a song in my head then suddenly out of left field a total stanger around me will probably hum it. This happens alot, like 70% of the time i think of a song.

 

[nZ]

Those AIM chain letters, i got one saying *if you dont send this round to 10 people , someone you like will die 2morrow* I thought it wz a load of bull**** so i didn't do it, but the next day my favourtie teacher died with severe head injurys by falling down the stairs...wtf?? this happened yesterday...

 

[Zeonix]

I never say "This will be the last time i.....". Something horrible happens every time i say that.

 

[KilledWithStyle]

One superstition I have never gotten is why actors call it the "Scottish Play" and not MACBETH

 

[Hibiki]

because if u say macbeth 3 times in a row macbeth comes out and kills you

 

[Ravendust]

I'm pretty sure that was a gag in Blackadder

I'm a pretty firm believer in Karma and also scientific theories that prove personal karma. For instance, if you give money to a tramp you feel good about yourself because you've done a good thing, everything seems nicer and better to you because of this outlook, your good attitude rubs off on people, and life improves without you being aware of what started it, so what goes around does indeed come around.

About breaking chain letters, if it IS true then I have AIDS, will never know true love, and caused a cancer patient to die in a grimy hospital bed.

 

[MisterX]

What do you think, can I be guilty for something I did without knowing it? Becaauuse, everytime I get such a chain letter, I just don't read it and click it away. Ok, on the one hand I knew that it perhaps says something bad would happen, but well, I never know, because I never read it Ah well, but in general I'm not that superstitious. A bit, yes. Perhaps even a bit more, but not too much. The only problem is that you can easily scare me with it. For example if I read such a chain letter by accident, and it says something like nZ told us, I just do what is written there. Because you can never know what is there beyond your imagination. So I think that if I don't do what's written there, something bad might happen. It's not sure that it will, but it could. But if I do it, nothing will happen for sure. Perhaps even something good... aah well, I am too superstitous. But only a bit...

 

[Optional]

CS, I still have that strange superstition except I just get this really strange feeling in my foot (the one that broke the rule). It actually is a part of this weird thing I have where everything has to be symmetrical. If I walk past a wall close to one side than the other, than that part of my body feels...warmer than the other side, and it gets so uncomfortable. Fortunatly, I figured away to beat it by imagining that I was closer to the other wall momentarily to even things out. Really weird, but I can't stop it.

 

[Tassadar]

Not sure if this is a superstition or just a habit... when playing CS I constantly switch back and forth between the first slot and the second slot. Kind of dumb, but I can't think of any real superstition I have.

I still try not to step on cracks though... I don't want to break my mom's back or anything...

 

[Taurus 2112]

It's ok Tassadar, we'll leave the breaking of yo momma's back to me when Im bangin' her tonight lol. Just kidding, I have a tendency not to breathe when Im passing a cemetary, I actually passed out last time I tried this because I was walking. If a superstition is hazardous to your health you should probly drop it.
