St Joseph is one of the best on this list.
Umbrellas inside the house - you will drown the next time you swim; or, opening an umbrella indoors will bring you bad luck
No reds allowed - Don't wear red when there's lightning, or else it may strike you. Broken reflection - 7 years of bad luck if you break a mirror. (This one originated in the Middle Ages where mirrored glass was extremely expensive; anyone who broke the large mirror of the lord or lady of the land was costing them a lot of money and destroying something likely not replaceable. A person could be put in jail if the lord of the land was ****ed off enough.)
Don't let a black cat cross your path; it will bring you bad luck. (I suppose you could trip over a black cat in the dark and break your leg, but really the coat color of a cat has nothing to do with luck either way.)
When you are getting married, do not wear your wedding gown before the wedding or else your wedding will canceled
Stepping on a crack in the sidewalk will break your mother's back.
Don't walk under a ladder or else you'll have bad luck
Carry a rabbit's foot for good luck (unless you are the rabbit concerned)
Don't sweep at night or you'll have fewer blessings
Cover your mouth when you sneeze or else your soul will go out
Cover your mirror during thunder so that it will not break
Do not point with your hands at night or else your hands will get smaller
If one of your relatives dies and their eyes are still open, he or she is waiting for some of your family, relatives, or friends to die
If you are pregnant, eat bananas so that you can have twins
Marrying on Friday the 13th cursed your wedding from the start.
