When Jimmy Fallon yells “It’s Hashtag time!” you know you won’t be bored. This time, the beloved host of The Tonight Show asked people to share their funny and weird superstitions and tag it with #MyWeirdSuperstition. Within minutes, the hashtag was trending on Twitter and you can totally see why.

From eating M&Ms in pairs only to always setting the volume on an even number, no matter if up or down, these are some of the weirdly particular behaviors we all have but don’t really tell anyone.

So let’s see what people shared right below, and don’t forget to add your own superstition in the comment section below! And after you're done reading this one, be sure to check our earlier Jimmy Fallon hashtags, #ThatWasCold, #WeddingFail, #TextFail, and #FitnessFail.

    When I leave my house for work I kiss my cat Oscar and tell him to be a good boy, then Kiss my 95lb tank of a dog and tell him to be a good boy for Nonnie and have a good day and then lastly I kiss my other cat Nuge and tell him to have a good day. I have turned around half way to work before because I forgot and I couldn't continue to work until I did my own morning superstition with my babies

    I set my alarm on my phone. My dog sleeps in my bed. One morning early my mom called and I thought it was my alarm so I looked at the time and hit what I thought was snooze. I said to my dog “oh don’t worry baby we don’t need to get up yet, we can sleep longer”. I had actually answered the call. My mom called back and said “did you have someone over last night, who were you talking to?”

    I always tell my dogs that "I have to leave for work now. Be a good boy (girl), and I'll see you later. Have a good day. And I have to say it to each of them. With the cats, I do the same, except I just say, Bye bye, kitty, because they don't understand the concept of work.

    For me it has to end in 5 or 0. If it can't end in those, it has to end in 3 or 7. If not those, then I turn it off. I have no idea why. I just get anxious if it ends in 1 2 4 6 8 or 9. The same goes with money, time, or anything to do with numbers.

    Bored Panda reached out to one of the top authors of Fallon’s #MyWeirdSuperstition challenge who said her superstition was eating M&Ms in pairs and by color. “First orange, then red, brown, yellow, green, and end with blue. If there isn't an even number, I make a group of 7. I don't know why, but I've always done this,” K. Hellams from Gastonia, NC tweeted.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Hellams told us that she does indeed call herself a superstitious person, “but only with certain superstitions,” and added: “For example, if I am talking about something that hasn't happened to me, I knock on wood afterward.”

    I do this too! I plan every single bite first, and I pick my "best bite" that I save for last. It only takes me seconds to plan it out and I never forget it as I'm eating it...its like second nature, its crazy. But if someone takes a bite off my plate, it throws the entire thing into chaos and I have to go with a second plan. If they eat my "best bite" I cant finish my food.

    When asked about her viral M&M superstition, the author told us about its story of origin. “My superstition with the M&Ms started at a football game when I was maybe 5 or 6. I don't recall why it started, but my team won! Now, I firmly believe that it brings me good luck and keeps me balanced in a way.”

    At this point, Hellams admits her superstition is somewhat hard to describe but “it has become almost a ritual.” When asked about her tweet being selected for The Tonight Show, she confessed that “I was hoping my tweet would make it onto Jimmy's show, but being in the favorites is amazing!”

    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).

    Back in the days when cars only had AM radio, you couldn't hear it in a tunnel because the waves couldn't penetrate through all the rock and cement. When we came to a tunnel, my Dad would tell us to close our eyes as well as hold our breath. After we'd done so, he'd turn the radio way down so we wouldn't know for sure when we'd come out the other side.

    A whopping 25% of the people in the US actively avoid anything from the number 13 to black cats, breaking mirrors, or walking under ladders as they consider themselves superstitious. One survey has even indicated that 13% of people would be bothered by staying on the 13th floor of a hotel and 9% said they would ask for a different room. This may explain why so few buildings have a 13th floor.

    Incredibly, some renowned airlines like Air France and Lufthansa do not even have a 13th row. On top of that, Lufthansa also doesn’t have a 17th row, since in some countries, like Brazil and Italy, the unlucky number is 17, and not 13.

    I've heard "Whatever you do on New Year's Day, you'll do for the whole year." And I did laundry one year. No one died, but I must have done laundry three times a week.

    Our thing is start the year off well, or else your year will be like that, ie, if you had a fight with a friend your relationship would be trash/and or fade that year, got romantic? Will have very strong romantic feelings for that person or many for the rest of the year, hung out with someone new? they will become your best friend

    Not only on New Year's but during the whole 12 holy nights from Christmas Eve to Epiphany (Jan 6) no laundry should be left on the line. This is a sacred period but also a spooky one with spirits of the dead roaming around, and they would mistake laundered sheets for burial shrouds and someone in the house will die in the following year.

    As a kid I would sleep with either all of my stuffed animals or none of my stuffed animals, because I didn't want to hurt any feelings, I also had shifts and when I could only pick one to take on a trip, I explained it to all of them, and tell them I'll choose someone else the next trip, I would say sorry I have to leave you behind this trip and tell my stuffed animals how much I love them, at sleepovers I wouldn't bring any stuffed animals because I didn't want anyone's feelings to get hurt or get jealous, and when I slept with none of my stuffed animals I would put them on a chair together, put a blanket on them, and tucked them in. Was I the only one?

    I had one of those corner hammock things above my bed for my stuffed animals. When I would get scared at night, I would unhook a corner of it and let all my stuffed animals tumble out on top of me so I could hide under them. I was also afraid to cough in the dark because the monsters would hear me.

    I did this as well! And I'd also have to sleep with them all. My bed would be filled with all my stuffed animals because if I left one out I was worried I'd hurt their feelings and I didn't want to do that. I'd have a hard time sleeping if I happen to forget one of them.

    So what are the reasons behind so many superstitions out there, even the ones that don’t make that much sense? Well, Don Saucier, associate professor of psychology, suggests that superstitions are the behaviors with which people attempt to affect or control their future.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "People believe in superstitions to try to restore some prediction and control to their world," Saucier said. "Not knowing what will happen to them is discomforting, and performing superstitious behavior can make people feel a little better about the future."

    But this is not something new. In fact, superstitions may go back as long as mankind has existed, as scientists believe that some religious and spiritual beliefs, as well as amulets, totems, and charms that were used to ward off evil, were all part of the superstitious behaviors our ancestors followed.

    However, on the contrary to today’s concept of superstition, the sacrifices observed in past civilizations may have been performed to intentionally receive good luck.

    Are you sure Bloody Mary and Mary the Queen of Scots are the same woman? I'm watching Reign right now and they were talking about Bloody Mary (Mary Tudor) who is dead...and then in the same conversation they were talking about Mary Queen of Scots and what to do with her. I believe you when you say you are related to Bloody Mary....but I was just wondering if you had the right Mary in mind. Either way...it's pretty darn cool!!

    One day at school I had a friend tell me about Bloody Mary. As soon as I got home, I ran up to my room and turned all my mirrors around. I had felt that she/it was staring at me through the mirrors while I wasn't looking. Let's just say my mom was very concerned.

    Ok, here is smth which will help, no matter what you are checking. To remember it you need to do something odd directly after it - jump, sing a phrase, touch your toe, scream - whatever rocks your boat. It will help to remember (and will switch attention to other things).

    That is OCD... Say out loud to yourself when you checked the locks. "I have checked the lock on the _____ door and it is secure." And stand there for a moment until you feel that yes, this is secure. Then, after a short while, switch up the order you check the doors. Then, later, you may be able to find peace. I have to stop myself from counting - but at the point where I just go, "Oh, I'm counting..." and I can stop.

    My sister does this, but she does it at like 11:30 when everyone else is upstairs, so the lights are off, and she's afraid of the dark, so she makes me get out of bed to come to watch her lock the doors.

    Tape works too, about 1 layer of duct tape, 2 layers of masking tape or about 10 layers of clear tape will cover the camera well. The clear tape will still leave a silhouette of you though unless you use enough

    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.

    They're just statues. They don't have any powers. They were made by human hands. They have mouths, but can't speak ; eyes, but can't see. They have ears, but can't hear. The only power they have over you is in your mind.

    LOL, if that was true there is no way my dog would have made it to 20. I have a billion pictures of her

    I'm torn now... I love looking at dog photos, but I also love real dogs.

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

    Oh yes, I didn't want to go to San Francisco or Los Angeles because of the earthquake, the big one.

    Just sneak out when she's not looking. It's an awesome place to visit.

    Not sure if this is a #myweirdsuperstition or not, but if I pick up a plant or flower when shopping for one, I can't put it back. If it looks damaged and I want to choose another one, that's cool, but now I have to buy both. This also applies to stuffed animals.

    I was one told that hate is a very strong word and he was right so I try to never use it. If it comes out I need to correct myself right away and take it back because hate is indeed a very strong word.

    It's also not getting a chance to dislike you back either.

    In 9th grade I wore our rival schools colors to picture day because that is the school I really wanted to go to. It was a silent protest. So now every time I see that pic of me wearing red and black at my mom's I smile because I feel like I got away with something.

    i kinda get that! I was in Norway once, just strawling around the city, when this car, covered in the local football clubs colors, drove past me, eyed me weirdly, drove past me again... found it very weird. next day when going to the match, it turned out i had been wearing the opponents' club colors
