This is what I put up with at work.
My boss 'The Friday 13th stuff is rubbish. I don't have any superstitions. In fact, 13 is my lucky number'

Which, actually, is a mildly amusing joke. if he were joking, but sadly he was not, as evidence by the fact he then went on to explain at great length why 13 was his lucky number.

sometimes I want to believe in superstitions
just because I want it to be true that you can predict the future and have control over random events. But believing in the bad ones seems counterproductive

bad causality
shit happens randomly all the time, to blame it on magpies or something makes no sense.

I am mostly not superstitious. I am not religious
and conduct myself generally with logic an rationality.

However, I will not walk on groups of three drain covers.
