After I got my bangs cut a few months ago, my Grandmother said I shouldn't because of this Chinese superstition blink.gif


She said, you've got 3 lights, one on your forehead, and one on each of your shoulders. They help you see the ghosts, and ghosts fear you for the light. Since I have bangs, she says it's covering one of my flashlights and it isn't good and I'll be attacked by ghosts or something in the future o__o;.

What are some strange superstitions you've heard of?

my mom always told me not to buy shoes around chinese new year. lmfao. i know, weird. she also told me that shaking my leg will "shake away" all my luck. there's also the having black nail polish on around new years. and being in a bad/negative mood on new years day will foreshadow your bad/negative year.

my mom is sooo superstitious. blink.gif

Ours is we can't buy shoes after chinese new years because 'shoe' in cantonese sounds the exact same as 'rough.' So they don't want you to have a "rough" start to your new year.

And the leg bouncing habit thing is the same with my family, they say you're just horny, haha when I told my boyfriend that, he does it everytime I'm sitting on him.
