So, Yeah!
There I was, walking home from work and my mind turned to superstition - There was no reason for this, however, this is my mind, I am here to give you insight into it, not to explain it!
I really don't get it, I thought alot, I wonder who started all this crap and why people continue it.
Don't walk under a ladder - I limbo under them all the time when I'm drunk, the worst part of it is the bad back it causes!
Its lucky to have a bird shit on you, HOW ffs is that lucky? It just leaves you walking around covered in bird poop! Ask Rich, he didn't feel Lucky when that Albatross shat on him in London, nor did my scratch card win after a seagull pooped on my bag the other day! In my opinion, anything that makes you have shit on you is bad - and I really can't be alone on that!
Black cats crossing your path, people can't even decide if that's good or bad, its divided! And what about the Tabby's?
Throwing salt over your shoulder wards off the devil? - hmmmmm, nope, gonna need more than salt to stop me ;) - but really, don't worry about the devil, worry about people!

Now, all these people worry about this shit, perform little rituals, but who does the really important stuff?
I can't be the only person who checks the back seat of a car without fail before I get in? Who won't sit with my back to an open door? And the reason for this.... serial killers! Now, I know they are rare, unlikely even - but why risk it! I like to know what's behind me.
I know, when I am walking home in the dark - exactly where my keys are, which is the right key (unless, I'm drunk) just in-case I need to get in quickly, I also know where the nearest impromptu and usable weapon in my house is and how hard I can hit with it. I know which doors in my house I left open and which were shut.

Some people laugh, but I think this shit is logical - people walk around thinking about this or that being 'lucky', but they don't take notice of the little things that can save their lives. Seriously, I know this is horror movie shit, but its real - more so than a cat running in front of me affecting my fate!  People walk around like horror movie's don't exist - not considering them to be survival guides.
People are wrong , that is pretty much the summary of this! Don't worry about ladders and poop and cats and salt - worry about crazy people hiding behind you!
