Some made sense then others, like not walking under a ladder vs breaking a mirror giving 7 yrs bad luck.
I had all of those too. I'm beginning to think there was a lot of superstitions I lived with. I had a fever once that wouldn't break and my mom tied onions to the bottom of my feet. Oh brother, I'm sharing too much.
