“Beginner's Luck Exists”
zububonsai 9 months ago (edited)
My dad taught me the basic ropes of a three /four player card game called "Skat" -pretty popular in the G.D.R. - one day when I was around 12/13. Then we played with him behind me giving some strategic advice. Then my first "all alone" game, I won. I told him I had all 4"Unter"(Boys) of each colour + almost a complete colour straight down from "A*s/Daus" (Ace) to "7"(lowest card) + the rest were Aces from the other colours. He blanched and told me "Oh. This is soooo rare that some players NEVER get dealt that combination that I wanted to explain it to you later, in the finer prints. You could have played even a so called "Grand Hand ouvert" , won it 100%, had earned 264points and would have won each Skat competition."
zububonsai 9 months ago (edited)
In the next restaurant/pub he even pointed out the memorial wall: each time a skat player has an exceptional good "Blatt" (combination of cards at the beginning of the game) and won with it, it was posted with name and date there. Mine was better 🫣😊.

"Beginner's luck" is simply us relying on our subconscious/instinct in an unfamiliar situation, once you become familiar with the suituation your "thinking brain" takes more charge, often without much success, then when you become really good, your body/instinct/subconscious takes over again, this time with more ability.

Now that casinos use facial recognition, you are guaranteed to win the first time you go into the casino and probably never again. This is the only explanation I have that 3 people walk into an MGM Grand casino for the first time, and each of us won $90-150 within 5 minutes of each other and 30 minutes in. We kept the money and have not been back but it seems a good way to get people addicted to gambling. Could have been a coincidence but I don't trust it.

Luck exists at all levels of experience. It's just seems to happen more at the beginner's level because later on you get to falsely attribute some lucky successes to skill.

“Umbrellas Can’t Be Opened Indoors”
zububonsai 9 months ago
Well, I let mine dry opened in the bath tub. Honestly, how does the non-openers get them dry without the umbrellas getting mouldy?
Sillywaster Stayalone 9 months ago
Umbrellas are hazardous, the metal protrusions at the vertices can poke your eyes. Also umbrellas were costly in the past, then why take chances by using them when not needed. Thus the superstition was likely a deterrent against kids playing with umbrella, which by all means is a great toy.
Auntriarch 9 months ago
The superstition is that you shouldn't open the umbrella before you leave the house. Which is reasonable - the weather is outside. It doesn't mean that you have to close it on return before it's dry.

We ALL know that it's not real, but it's a fun little habit that we picked up from our Mom. Mom was from the Silent Generation 1933 and Grandpa (Her Dad) was part of the Lost Generation 1890, plus growing up extremely poor in the country, equals a TON of superstitions got passed down from her parents. Everyone needs to remember, that back then they had their own sets of beliefs and habits that was passed down to them by the previous generations. Opening Umbrellas in the house (bad luck), breaking mirrors (7 years of bad luck), walking under ladders, (that's just common sense) A black cat crossing in front of you (a sign of the devil) which is also where the superstition about black cats being evil came from. Throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder (when you don't believe what someone is telling you or to protect against the devil). Knock on wood 3xs for luck, stepping on cracks will break your Mother's back (that was a childhood thing).etc.
Nikki Gross 9 months ago
I'm not sure about other parts of the Country and what was passed onto them. But if you live in the South, older generations took that as gospel. That's what THEY were taught by their Parents and Grandparents, so of course it can be carried over to the Generation after them. I open my Umbrella when I walk out onto my porch, because it's a pain the the a*s carrying it outside my front door. I shake it out when I come home, so I won't get water everywhere coming through the door with a wet umbrella. My Mom told me that walking under the ladder will be bad luck, was started to discourage kids from going under one and having something fall on them. The breaking a mirror is 7 years of bad luck is actually a belief that is 2,000 to 2,700 years old (Google for more information) So we can't blame our Parents/Grandparents for believing that one. Finding a Penny will bring you 3-7 days of good luck, basically if nothing happens to you then it worked.

The devil is over your left shoulder, throw the salt into his eyes. So once again, balderdash.

It's even sillier than that. The belief is that the sound of falling salt attracts the devil and that he always approaches from behind and to the left, but throwing salt into his eyes harms him and sends him scurrying back to Hell. Quite how he can differentiate between the sounds of falling salt, sugar, sand, etc. is anybody's guess, as is why he hasn't yet learnt that he'd be safer approaching from the right.

This could come from a time when salt was given as salary due to it's high cost and demand. A lot of Roman soldiers were given salt as part of their pay as they could use it, trade it or sell it. So basically spilling it cost you loss of earnings and to lose money is bad luck.

Cats (not the ones raised by humans) are vey scaredy creatures, quick to run, jump and change its course. So one can trip just because they are trying to avoid them. And one is likely to trip more in dark or in dimly lit places. And black cats blend with the background when it is dark adding to the problem. Apart from this, I don't see any other reason why one should be careful around black cats

Some of the "yes" answers were quite alarmingly high. Still a lot of superstitious people around.

Superstition is bogus! I have no problem to walk under a ladder on Friday the 13th, with a black cat crossing right in front of me. Nothing ever happens. {Knocks on wood}

Here we have a variation: when you hear someone else sneezing (or you sneeze), you ask him/ her/yourself "Who thinks of you while kissing someone else?" (Yes, it's nonsense and no, I don't ask anybody or myself that.)
