So today i was taking some notes at a cafe and all i had was a red pen and when some old lady passed by me she almost flipped out when she saw some names in red. I asked her why was she acting so uptight about this and told me that most Koreans dont write in red- or just dont write their names in red because it might give the person bad luck and even death.
I ended up thinking about this and thought the woman was joking but she was SAYING THE TRUTH!
I even found more superstitions on the way so i thought i might share it with you guys
So what about you guys? DO you know any superstitions in your country or city? Im kinda interested on knowing more! Ahahaha |

K so-- that whistling thing at night, tbh, I feel that a lot :' D It really freaks me out, I don't even whistle if my window is open?  It's weird but gosh it makes so much sense! As for four, isn't that like unlucky in a lot of asian cultures? It tends to be because of the spelling or character being close to death if I remember right. hahah Even the witching hour is from 3-4 am so-- Who knows~ 
[HAITIAN/CREOLE SUPERSTITIONS]
1. Walking backwards will cause someone in your family to die
2.Walking around with one shoe on is basically saying, go a head and take one of my parents
3. Don't walk under anyone's extended arms or else you'll never grow again.
4. If you want to point at a rainbow its recommended you dip your finger in mud before or else you'll lose that finger
5. If it's raining but sunny, the homie downstairs is probably not gettin along with his ole ball n chain-- (the devil is fightin with the wife)
6.So if it rains on the wedding day you'll last as a marriage~
7. If you let the dude slip the ring past the knuckle on the wedding day he'll dominate the relationship and to make sure that didn't happen many Haitian women would just NOPE, stop that right there.
8.They also wear black panties on the wedding night to outlive their husband. Clearly they kno wassup.
9.It's bad luck to walk across a broomstick. It that ever happens, you must go back and "un-cross" the broomstick.
10.If you got a lot of birthmarks it means when your mom was craving shit when you were in the womb she didn't get it right away.
11. If you look a lot like your daddy, it's cuz your mom was fucking pissed off at him during the pregnancy
12.Black butterfly = Bad News
13.If you're sick don't go to a funeral, it'll be you next in that coffin 8 D
14. If a funeral car stops right in front of your house, douse that door with a bucket of water or else death is comin for y'all
15. Ringing in the ears, someones talkin shit--jk they're just talking about you
16.Itchy right hand? Might be pay day soon 8 D
17. If shit goes down on New Years, all year is basically gonna be reflected on that. FUN.
18. Red clothes, spirits won't fuck with you : )
19.Don't comb your hair at night, you'll forget important shit.
20.If people are always like UR KID IS SO CUTE, it's gonna end up ugly. LMFAO
21. Tell your interior designers, no black or red sheets, the devil is gonna come and fuck u up
22. If you play with your shadow it'll fuck you over when you sleep.
23. If you bite your tongue ppl talkin shit
My mom is Haitian, very--veryyyyyyyy into this part of her culture, and intense about anything natural or superstitions. Part of why I got into the medicine aspect of botany actually hahah-- My dad is Egyptian but he doesn't really care about it at all :'''' ) and they're both Greek--so...But they don't care about those superstitions, more or less I'm a huge mess of anxiety over meaningless acts that are really more likely to happen the more you think about it. Give out bad feels, get it back ya know?

 wow! This is pretty intense! Thank you for taking your time to write these!
For a second i thought your mother was still into them but im glad she doesnt
give a shit now  You'd be one secluded boy (maybe in a bubble) If she was
still into it-
I'm Egyptian but most of out 'superstitions' were odd- or at least the view on
death and all, really spooky stuff |

Nah nah, she still does, my dad doesn't
My mom is all about using herbs instead of pharmacy medicine (even though she can DEFINITELY afford it smh) and she's big on a few of those superstitions but not a lot, she'd just tell them to me when she wanted to scare me. She also told me all the Greek things. She's really into all her cultures hahaha like...She studies them as a hobby (Mainly the Greek, since she was raised in the south)
Wish I knew about the Egyptian ones, I could just google them though...My dad's very American, doesn't really do much with his roots, including the Greek as well.
You should tell us about your superstitions then! Help me learn a bit about my lost culture hahaha :''' )

growing up from a mexican background, my family used to tell me a lot of superstitions and many more. we latinos don't fuck around.
1. if you stare at a dog while it's pooping, you're gonna get pimples. specifically in your eye apparently.
2. same thing happens if you point at a rainbow.
3. don't drop the tortilla or your in-laws will come visit you.
4. don't go to a river at night or la Llorona will get you. srsly that lady scares me more than my great-aunt.
5. if you smile at a baby, you better touch it somehow or they're gonna get sick. or evil spirits will come visit them, it varies. throw some jewelry on that baby or make them an egg drink to prevent the bad shit.
6. likewise, give the baby a gift after they're baptized or they're gonnna fart a lot.
7. if you're pregnant and there's an eclipse, have a safety pin next to yoru belly. because logic.
8. if you cut a baby's nails befor etheir first birthday, they're gonna go blind.
9. don't let anyone sweep your feet or you'll be single forever. talk about sweeping someone off their feet, am i right?
10. ear buzzing? someone's talking shit abou tyou.
11. you have to tell someone your nightmares or they'll come true. but apparently if you have good dreams, keep them to yourself so they do happen.
12. if you scratch your itchy palm, money won't come your way. stick a coin on your palm until the itchiness goes away.
13. don't point a paire of scissors at soomeone or at you, it'll only lead to trouble. which you probably shouldn't be doing anyway.
14. placing your purse on the floor will lead to your money running out.
15. when dogs howl, it means death is nearby.
16. stepping on a grave will summon the spirit to haunt you.
17. if an owl visits you, that means someone is going to hur tyou.
18. if the foot of your bed is facing the door, you're welcoming in death.
19. stepping on your left foot when you get out of bed means you're going to have a bad day.
funny how a lot of cultures tend to have similar superstitions, huh?

We have the same thing for swept feet to hahaha, that is pretty creepy how they're really similar, maybe there's some stock to them or something? |
