Default Ok here are some from Hawaii

Hubby's relatives and friends in Hawaii had a ton I had never heard of.

Don't take pork over the Pali. --The Pali is the pass that goes over the mountain from one side of Ohau to the other. If you take pork over the goddess pele will make your car stall.

Only an open lei for pregnant women a closed lei will cause the cord to strangle the baby at birth.

Never put your feet on a pillow or you will have upside down thinking and confusion (dementia)
Never face the foot of your bed towards the door or evil spirts will drag you out the door. Also never set your desk so your back is to the door or they will attack you.

Never take a rock from a volcano -- Pele again- will bring you bad luck

Wearing shoes in someones house is cursing them with sickness or death.

Celebrating a childs birth before one year will bring it bad luck and sickness.

Never take bananas on a fishing boat- No fish and a stalled engine

Put a screen or a wall up so you can't see from the front door through to the back yard or the devil will travel through your house instead of going around.

If you take a picture with three people in it the person in the middle will die first.

I am sure there were a lot more but I don't remember them all.

The one that got me was giving a gift to near strangers for any reason at all. They spend a fortune giving junk gifts to each other.
