August 28, 200818 yr We all have them or know someone who does. Let's hear them and here are a few of mine or those I know. · I won't step on chalk, on a Baseball field. · Mustard only, on a Hot Dog or Hamburger. · I know someone, that when they sneeze, it will be 9 times total. · Shoe laces, must be over/under and not under/over, from right to left. · A new magazine, I start at the back and work my way forward. Let's hear them.
August 28, 200818 yr I've noticed that as I've grown older, I am much less patient of people in large groups. For example, after going to the Bob Dylan concert the other night, my brother and I went on the boat for a bit, as he was wanting to play Blackjack. I wasn't really feeling the gambling urge that much, so I told him, "Not to rush you or anything but if you're going to play, go ahead and sit down as soon as possible. Three hours around a big crowd of people is well past my limit, and this boat's getting packed." We left about 45 minutes later, before I could get involved in any incidents. I hate to say it, but I'm almost not looking forward to Sunday's UK-UofL game. And I won't even have to pay to get in.
August 28, 200818 yr I do have many gambling superstitions. If I go to the track or the boat and win, I will go out of my way to remember the exact clothing combination I had on for the next time. And I have been known to wear the same T-shirt to the track 2-3 days in a row in order to preserve a hot streak.
August 28, 200818 yr I have a real problem with odd numbers of any kind. When I write, I don't like to leave stray little lines on letters and such. I like to have the bills all facing the same way in my wallet. I think it's probably borderline OCD.
August 28, 200818 yr I don't step on white lines...ever. In fact, I try to drive in between them when changing lanes on the highway. My wife thinks I'm an idiot for willing to die in order to miss a white line. I say I'm lucky...

August 28, 200818 yr Same here and always must be $1 on the outside, then $5's and so on, in order. Yup. Also, everything is in the same place, always. Left pocket: Keys, phone (If wearing cargo shorts, phone goes in left cargo pocket.) Right pocket: Cash, change, gum and chapstick Right back pocket: Wallet Left back pocket: Badge and proximity card (work days only)
August 28, 200818 yr My mom always told me never to watch anyone go out of sight when they left your house...bad luck.
August 28, 200818 yr Me neither...ever! If I were you, I'd never take that rig into a parking lot or crosswalk...
August 28, 200818 yr If I were you, I'd never take that rig into a parking lot or crosswalk...Crashed in a crosswalk once.
August 28, 200818 yr I have one, but I wouldn't really call it a superstition.... Every time, and I mean every single time, I walk into a restaurant or bar or really any establishment at all, I have to go use the bathroom before I do anything else. I usually don't even realize I'm doing it.
