If put your shoes on anything other than the floor ( like a bed, chair or tabletop ---- this includes newly purchased shoes) there will be a death in the family. This came from my grandma and although it's not true, it still scares the bejesus out of me.

My mom always told me that if you give a wallet or purse as a gift, you have to put in a coin, such as a nickel penny dime etc or else it would be bad luck for the owner.I think my family just love to scare people. Lol

Some say that a ship's name that ends in the letter "A" will have nothing but bad luck. It used to be believed that a bride wore a veil to hide her face from her future husband in an arranged marriage to keep the groom from running away in case she wasn't pretty enough for him.  In Nigeria an eclipse is seen as god's anger towards sinful people and blood moons signal the apocalypse. I'm sure there are many more strange superstitions out there.....  (:

My mom always told us that if you sit on cold concrete, you'll get hemorrhoids. And then there is that blindness thing. Both a bunch of phooey.

I had to put on my coke bottle glasses just to read your answer. Now they're full of tears from laughing at your comment.
