I could be mistaken, but I don't think this is the thread for silly voodoo!

I never crashed though.

Well...not hard anyway.

I eat my food individually and in the order of least liked to most liked.

Isn't there a saying that goes something like; "he was 99.999 percent a great pilot."

I have a touch wood thing going on. It was because my sister taught me to do it in childhood, so I just kept at it and I have to now. If I was to say "I've not had the flu in years" I have to touch wood and it must be real wood. If I don't, I'll wake up the next day will a really bad flu!

It's the only silly superstition I have.

I'm wondering how you get to touch the outside of a plane though? Is it a small airport where you board on the runway?

Oh yeah I do that too but I save the most liked for the end because I'm too full to tolerate the least liked by then

I have to lift the toilet seat when I go to pee .Does that count ?

Yes. As a kid i had a nervous tick where my left side was bad luck so anything that akwardly brushed against say my left foot had to be brushed against the right immediatly afterwards to undo the jinx.

Also as a kid i had a superstition that if i wasnt physically outside the bathroom when the toilet flush got to the big suction noise part it was bad luck as if its an omen that my lifes about to get flushed.

Even when you board through the terminal, you can still touch the area around the hatch.

As long as you put it back down before you do.

I do that too, but how I eat the foods on my plate will generally depend on what they are. Sometimes, I save the very best for last because I want to be sure I savor it and draw it out, both the actual eating and anticipation. Sometimes, I eat it first because it's best when fresh.

Sometimes, I will go back and forth between food items, but it just depends.

I need them all to be separate on the plate though. I was told after his death that one of the reasons I was always sat close to my grandfather at meals was because this particular behavior of mine always fascinated him.

Absolutely

Yeah, it can make eating around others kinda awkward, especially when it's for the first time.

Does it always make you the absolute last person at the table to finish your food too?

a reply to: ketsuko

Yup lol. It's about savoring and drawing it out, like you said.

I have a thing with doors.
I have to double check them before I go to sleep, and when I leave the house.

I have a superstition or two fogging up my brain, too

a reply to: DBCowboy

I dunno man, that sounds more like a fetish..

"Touch the plane, baby... be safe."

Oo
