  • Some obscure good luck and bad luck superstitions.

    Things that bring good luck:

    A robin flying into the house
    Sneezing three times before breakfast
    Meeting three sheep
    Looking at the new moon over your right shoulder
    Nine peas in a pod
    Cutting your hair during a storm
    Picking up a pencil in the street

    Things that bring bad luck:

    A bat flying into the house
    An owl hooting three times
    Three butterflies together
    Looking at the new moon over your left shoulder
    A five leaf clover
    Cutting your nails on a Friday
    Starting a cruise on a Friday

    There's only one good luck superstition that I follow - that of not spending any coin I find until I've found another to replace it. I usually do this by placing the coin in my back pocket.
