Are you superstitious?

Students of 2nd B advanced did some research on common superstitions.
If you put a hat on the bed, it’s bad luck (because in Spain and Italy ,it is a bad  omen (something wrong will happen)/ Another meaning is that your mind will get blank.)

If you break a mirror, you will have seven years of bad luck.

If you cover your mouth while yawning, it’s good luck (because you prevent the devil from entering your soul)

If you hear crickets singing, you will have good luck.

If you cut your hair before final exams, you will forget everything you have studied.

If you sleep facing south, you will be lucky.

If you leave a house through a different door than the one used to enter it, you will have bad luck.

If you put on a dress inside out, you will have good luck.

If a black cat walks in front of you, you will have bad luck.

If there is a garlic in your house, it will keep bad spirits away.

If you put on a t-shirt inside out, someone will give you a gift.

If you walk under a ladder, you will be unlucky.

If you eat an apple a day, you will keep the doctor away.

If you pull  out a gray or white hair, ten more will grow in its place.

If you carry a rabbit’s leg with you, you will have good luck.

If you give someone salt hand in hand, you will quarrel with her/him.

If a picture falls off the wall where it is hung, it’s bad luck. (because according to the Greeks, it means that he or she will die soon.)

If you have a hydrangea bush in your garden, your younger daughter won’t marry.
