Since today is the dreaded Friday the 13th, I decided to post some common superstitions. Of course I have to tempt fate and put 13 of them on here! *gasp* Some of them are quite funny! I did not realize just how many superstitions are out there. Are there any superstitions that you believe or just find really strange?

I had a hair appointment today, and when I set it the lady said, "Now, that's Friday the 13th, is that okay?" Um...yeah? Apparently I was her only appointment today because people avoid getting their hair done on Friday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about the food container. I return them empty to my mom all the time! ah ha
