Title: Weird or “superstitious” things you do
Post by: aitm on September 20, 2025, 12:55:29 PM
If, when approaching a stop light and it suddenly turns green, I say "thank you!" as I drive under it. Weird? Yes.....buts it's working!!!!

I talk to my tools. Got in the habit when I was on active duty.

"Behave or see the bottom of the Pacific, baby."

My strikers often thought I was speaking to them. Of course I wasn't, that would be again the USN rules. Never ever broke USN rules. But I can cuss out my tools, no problem. Innocent bystanders didn't understand this, and sometimes not so innocent bystanders did understand this.

I only watch vampire shows at night.

While playing video game stealth missions, I'm also as silent as possible IRL.

I publically thank pest-controlling species like orb weaver spiders (they're large so they're easy to spot) and lizards outside my house.  I consider having a large (and therefore well-fed) spider on the premise to be a sign of good luck.

I semi-sarcastically say "after you, your majesty" or "apologies, your magesty" when the local Canada geese cross the street and otherwise get in the way.  I doubt they understand the sentiment,  but I know for a fact that they embody it.

I've been trying to think of any weird or superstitious things I do, but I've been unsuccessful in the attempt.
I guess the weirdest thing I do is to watch YouTube for 12 or 14 hours a day. I just can't seem to drag myself away!
