The 7 years bad luck for breaking a mirror was based upon how long it would take a housemaid to pay for a mirror out of her wages if she broke it

Mirrors are a lot less expensive these days

and housemaids are a lot less careful I bet

When I was a child I picked up a comb off the street, an aunt who was with me nearly had a heart attack, grabbed it out of my hand and threw it away.
She said picking up a comb like that would bring disaster on me because The Morrigan left it there after brushing her hair and you don't want to be touching her belongings, that has stuck with me ever since.

Of course you won't get 10 years bad luck for breaking a mirror!!!

Only 7.

Putting shoes on the table...I did it a while ago with a new pair of runners and my mate nearly had a heart attack when he saw them there!

do you have any and what are they?

I don't consider myself superstitious and would have no problem walking under a ladder or spilling salt but when i see a lone magpie I have to spit and wave at it
It was originally just waving at it but then I heard you had to spit at them so i added that
Now i've heard another one where you have to say "hello mr.magpie and how's your wife?"
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

I say 'I tug my forelock at thee, you c***.' and tug my forelock (if there is no one around).

I never walk on the Luas rails, initially it was I didn't want to get electrocuted (stupid I know).
