What are you superstitious about?

I do the knock on wood thing, the salt over shoulder thing and when my ears ring I always say 'someone's talking about me'.
But I don't know if I really believe it. It's more like a game to me.

My mom and grandparents were/are very superstitious.
Here are some they believe/d:

1. If you drop a fork, someone's going to visit you at your door later.
2. When you're not using a broom, never store it bristles down. Bad luck.
3. A mirror on a bed is bad luck.
4. If your left palm itches, you're going to get money soon. If the right itches, you're going to lose money.
5. If you're talking to someone and you call them by someone else's name accidentally, it means that the person you mentioned is thinking about you.
6. Cats are bad luck.
7. You should never whistle at night. Bad luck.
8. Under a ladder... bad luck.
9. They always do the sign of the cross when an ambulance passes by with it's siren on.
10. Never step on someone's grave... bad luck.
11. If you raise your hand to someone older like you're going to strike them, your hand will stick out of your own grave when they bury you after you die.

That's just a few...
