I, superstitious? Definitely not!

Neville Stack wrote an article in the New Paper about superstitions and some I've heard from people popped into my mind. Still, they don't hinder the way I live because I don't believe in them.

I still walk under ladders, allow black cats to cross my path and visit people on the third day of Chinese New Year, regardless of the fact that they may become my enemies for life. I don't feel any qualms about sweeping the house during Chinese New Year, if it is dirty. The only superstition I was naive enough to believe in due to age was to throw a coin over my back at Rome's Trevi Fountain to have my wish come true. Obviously, I didn't get my wish fulfilled.

So what about you? Are you superstitious?
