1) Always leave from the same door you entered
2) When visiting a cemetary always have water or a tap dripping
3) At New Years the first person to visit should bring a piece of coal with them
4) Wear clothes with circles on them at new year (supposed to ensure wealth for the forthcoming year)
5) Always eat noodles at birthdays as noodles symbolise long life
6) Never mix the knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery drawer

the coal one is a bit of a tradition in scotland too. although not really done now!

I wear a Hamsa whenever I leave the house. Including to work. I also have them in the house.
I knock wood.
I have a thing with even numbers and the TV volume always has to be set at an even number.

bizarre superstition or OCD??
I have to do things in exact order before going to bed. Turn off lights, turn on the hall light and look at the front door to make sure it is locked, turn off the hall light, prop the bedroom door open...not too far open...not too narrow an opening....push against the closet door to make sure it is closed (I know there is nothing in there BUT if some night that door swung open and there was something in there?? I would freak!!) I have to rattle it three times...then I get into bed. If the cat knocks the door open too far? I have to start the whole procedure over....turn on the lights...turn them back off....turn on the hall, look at the front door,
