Default Things you do for good luck or OCD or whatever!

I have always turned my right sock inside out for some reason. it started in college and I am now 40 years old. I am not sure it has ever produced any good luck but i do it anyway.

I always leave a dime on the soda machine so the next person can get one for $.50 instead of $.60 like it charges. Not sure why I do this. Just seems nice and it is only $.10 per day.

I always turn the lid to my beer or soda just a little bit to the left so i always know which one is mine. no superstition there... just like to not drink someone elses herpes infected drinks.

I do walk under ladders and try to break as many mirrors as possibly on a daily basis....

I think I'm pretty normal but I have a few. Mine:

- Say goodbye to the wife/dogs the same way each morning.
- If anyone tells me to be careful, the only answer I'll reply with is "Always."

We go with the coozie method for beer. That way everyone can ID their can even after they've had far too many.

When I pick up my toothpaste, I toss/flip it and catch it before I open it and put it on my toothbrush.

Also, I always make sure my coffee lids have the opening on the opposite side from the seam in the cup. This is more practical than superstition, as it actually does prevent spillage/drippage.

That's all I can think of right now.

I always have to have the "hook" of my hanger facing the right side of my shirt so they all face the same way. If I take something to the dry cleaners and it faces the left, I fix it. I dunno why, but it bothers me when its not "right." But I put my left shoe on first every time.

If I wear one of my fubtol jerseys, I always give the crest a small kiss for luck.

Mine are usually objects/clothes that I had with me during fortunate or happy events. I tend to feel they are lucky, like lucky shirts, shoes, and when I was in school I had lucky pens, pencils etc.
