35 Funny And Embarrassing Superstitions People Still Believe In, Shared For Jimmy Fallon’s New Challenge

This is not superstition, it's smart! Keep them on your side.

If my pets sneeze, I bless them.

I go by 5's - don't ask why, 'cause I dunno.

My mother told me this one too.

That's not superstition - anything outside the borders of the bed IS fair game.

I read Stephen King has this superstition, too. I'm not surprised, though. Living with that kind of imagination can't be easy.

This is a real threat if you have cats

doesn't everyone do this?

Bro who doesnt still think dat

I can't sleep with any appendages outside the perimeter of the mattress...I feel as though I'd wake up and it'd be gone(the appendage)....I'm 33.

The demons will pull u under and eat u

And hands

Same reason why I can't sleep with my closet door open. The monsters will get me

That's a fact though.

Same. So I sleep with a huge, fluffy, soft blanket. Not like it does anything!

No monsters but cold dog noses are close enough. Slurp! 🐶

Fourteen years old and it still makes me uncomfortable.

My cat wanting to play with my feet makes that happen.

That's perfectly normal.

they say, if one is drunk, hhe/she should hang the feet off of bed, because it´s like an anchor and you don´t have to vomit. xD

Or ghosts touching them!

That's why I hang my bare butt off the bed

One of my cats will swat at my feet if one is hanging over the end/side of the bed.

I dont think that monsters are going to eat my feet. I think that there’s a psycho under my bed with a knife thats going to cut my toes off...

i still do that and im 11

I'm ticklish... My feet must be covered!

pretty sure theres an scp like that

I have felt that way since I first watched Wizard of Oz when I was little. Thought the witch would grab me if I did. Lately I hand my feet off because I injured my knees and it is more comfortable. My dog l, who loves to be petted, came up in the middle of the night and stuck her furry head under my foot. I almost had a heart attack!

I am 49 and I still believe this.

cm,

I like hanging my arms and feet off my bed with the rest of my body under a warm blanket.

same yes

I used to do this until I realized my steak was better when it wasn't cold yet

This is not superstition. Lightning can travel through plumbing. Wouldn't be the first time.

Oddly, every day I happen to look at the clock at exactly 12:34. I see it every day.

When I was 10 I went to the beach with a friend and her family. She had the superstition that you hold your breath going over a bridge or through a tunnel. We rapidly expanded the superstition to include "when passing cemeteries" and a bunch of other random stuff. Eventually, her increasingly annoyed dad told us we had to hold our breath every time we saw a tree (we were traveling through the mountains of western North Carolina).

Well, it was someone in her close circle, that's for sure

I used to so do the same and if I felt like I showed too much attention to one then I had to have one on ones with all of them.

And what happens if you don't?

Why did I read the last sentence in Phoebe's voice?? lol

'My knock will find its wood' - that's oddly wholesome

At 6 years old???

I literally jyst taught my kids this about a week ago.

I like this one!

Cool! I haven’t heard of this one before!

No more dip for you!

I would too 😂 I’m a scaredy-cat!

I never look ahead on a calender so the picture for the months is a "surprise" if I have to write something for the next month I just slide the page up so I can't peek

That escalated quickly

Schroedingers Jack

I do the same thing.

Athletes and coaches are some of the most superstitious people.
