[@jenniferbailey1580]

Side benefit of being an occasional wheelchair user is that on some days you spare yourself that “avoiding tile cracks” unbalanced stride that your brain just will not stop doing (had my condition for decades and unexpected sympathy can weird out my brain. So just imagine me gliding over the floor without stepping on cracks without having to work at it, on a day it feels like I’d be working at it. Whoosh, straight to the tomato sauce!

[@2006hondman]

Seems you have broken... 274,961 ligaments in your moms back 😊

[@Sarah-cf1ib]

I remember in elementary school some kids would would purposefully step on cracks to prove it wasn’t true. Then one day a kid said his mom had actually broken her back and we all were extra careful that day.

[@Servant_of_Yeshua96]

Yeah I had heard that before too. As an adult I had that fear too til years ago. I step on cracks, my mom is fine. I just learned not to let lies control how I walk and do things. Jesus rocks.

I burst out laughing at "he showered in a thunderstorm" my god I still think about my mom warning me about that when I do it

[@mrsmack5808]

I don't consider that one a superstition. Stepping on a sidewalk crack definitely won't break your mother's back but water is a good conductor of electricity and does slightly increase your odds of getting zapped during a thunderstorm. I have an electrical issue in my house that we haven't been able to sort out yet and I get shocked every time I touch any kitchen appliance that is plugged in if my hands are even slightly damp and the water tap is on. Even if I bump an appliance like the microwave with my elbow while washing dishes. It's so frustrating.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Bloody Mary! 🤣 These were all hilarious! I loved the "Oh, I stepped on a crack! MOM!!!" The graveyard part 💀🙌

[@Luvcook]

My friend did the Bloody Mary one at a sleepover one time. Never saw anything. But to this day. I still don't like it

[@MsBluebot]

@@Luvcook the lore differs on whether you need candles or three mirrors. Some lore says yes and some lore says no so idk but I’m fine not finding out cuz it freaks me out. Lore has it that if you manage to call her she’ll be super mad and scratch/scar your face she went into the mirror to find her unscarred face. She had a bad accident that badly scarred her face and she couldn’t deal with it so she went into the mirror to find it. Some lore you didn’t ask for

What was the thing at 2:40 when he came out of the bathroom and mentioned “seven years”? I only know the one about seven years of bad luck when you break a mirror. I didn’t know the flushing ice for a snow day thing either (1:41), so I looked it up. I grew up on the coast of Southern California, so we didn’t have snow day myths. Our schools never closed for nature stuff. All we had were earthquakes, but having one that’s bad enough to close schools isn’t the kind of thing wish for unless you’re a sociopath.

But these invisible little men would follow me everywhere I'd go and I was afraid of them. So I imagined them running after our family van.

Showering in thunderstorms can be legitimately dangerous. Lightning can travel through the plumbing and into the water/shower. Albeit rare, but can still be deadly.

[@nycapplesJH]

This is true if you have a cast iron tub…it’s where the superstition comes from

[@BlckSWANWhtRbbt]

If I remember correctly, it's if you have all metal piping which is pretty rare nowadays.

[@joeb2]

@@BlckSWANWhtRbbt the plumbing doesn’t have to me metal, water acts as a very good conductor. So even with PVC pipe, the water can still carry the current through them. Again, it’s rare, but certainly possible. If there is water present, you can still be shocked/electrocuted. Washing dishes and using the sink in general can do the same thing.
