Dude, that'd bordering on OCD, that is!
My nan was superstitious. I swear she made things up as she went along!
Spill salt, so take a pinch and throw it over your left shoulder. This blinds the Devil sitting there that made you spill the salt.
Never put brand new shoes on a table, even in the box. Filthy, old, manky worn shoes are no problem but no new shoes.

"Do unto others" etc. and Karma and that sort of philosophical way of living aren't superstitions. They are philosophies on morality and ways of living. Superstitions are exceptionally odd, pointless fears. Walking under ladders is actually sound, as heavy objects dropped on your head hurt. But GREEN???? Where the heck is the reasoning behind that????
