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 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

omg i do this too

OMG You are the first person I've ever heard say that too. I hate a side heavy or end heavy egg carton. I've been told I'm a little "special" by family and friends.

I do the same thing! And if I open the egg carton to find someone else has done it wrong, then I make sure to rearrange them!

My wife bought a flat of eggs for Easter and the flat was balanced throughout the week when she took some out for hard-cooked eggs and when she took some out for deviled eggs. When I mentioned it, she said, my husband taught me that so I guess I do it too.

I do the exact same thing only it's not superstition... for me it's OCD!

same here xd

I do too. I do it from the inside out though.

I have to have a balanced egg carton, too! Lol

I do this too lmfao

Likewise.

Same.

That escalated quickly

Schroedingers Jack

I do the same thing.

Athletes and coaches are some of the most superstitious people.

This is probably related to "if I keep my feet under the covers, monsters won't be able to grab me"

Wow!

But what if there are five?

Is your grandpa Red Green? (Canadian comedian/author/actor)

This is OCD

I just kiss the floor with my gas pedal to ensure I'm through while it's yellow haha

And now your friend is a superhero

Surprisingly wholesome

Would be an interesting gathering if you did, though.

Not me. But I know people who do the same.

same but I think about a giant squid pulling me down and eating me

That’s unlucky! Glad you put the best foot forward and kept going!

Sticky note over the camera

Whereas I prefer the first... means that you only have to worry about one person going in the stall next to you, rather than on both sides.

Me too! I also do it before road trips and I visualize a bright white light surrounding the plane/car for protection

Actually, the feline one is a representation of a goddess named Bastet. She normally has a cat head, female human body and a cobra tail. She is supposed to keep everyone healthy and safe. The other is a representation of Horace. He represents kingship and the phases of the sun and the moon. Both are there to protect you.

That’s SO cool! I haven’t seen very many $2 bills in my life!

We did this as kids. But to avoid giving life to the dead and making a zombie apocalypse

Thanks mom 😅

Uh-oh *nervously glances at camera roll with thousands of pet pictures*

Just let her know that if that thing erupts it wouldn't matter if she was in Montana or China. We're all screwed.
