I'm not superstitious but I'm a little stitious.

Never release a fish on the side of the boat you are fishing. It will tell the others you are trying to catch to not bite.

Tar Heel 101: I’m the same way about knives except
it was my paternal grandfather who taught me. Said just giving someone a knife without an exchange of coin(s) “would cut your friendship “.

If someone hands you an open knife, hand it back open, do not close it, forgot about that one.

Last year I hunted for about a week without seeing a deer. My wife told me, "Why don't you forget that new rifle and use your game getter?" So the next day I took my 8mm and got a buck. Someone suggested I re-name the new rifle to "Luky Norma" so I did. I got the doe on the next hunt. Pics?

By and large the captains and mates on the tugs I was on were well educated, intelligent, tech savvy...men to admire. But I couldn't help but notice some little things...cups are hung on hooks usually, and they all had to face the same way, it wasn't just about neatness and order I was told, firmly. I never recall hearing anybody whistling. Discussions of weather and sea state of course by the deck gang are a necessary part of the days work, however woe be the ignorant engineer who should drop a careless remark like, I think she's starting to lay down a little...they take that very seriously indeed. I don't ever remember seeing a banana in the galley in eight years. They hired their first female cooks after I left, but there was a rumor that a bonus was paid to that first crew. Supposedly the Operations Manager asked the Captain, you surely are not superstitious about taking her are you? The Captain cleverly replied of course not, but I am reluctant to be seen as the one breaking tradition.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Not particularly except for when I’m hunting.
I have a couple superstitions pertaining to ammo.
It’s supposed to be bad luck to count your shells, as the hunting gods will hold you in contempt for being so confident!
But The Old Man also told me to take an odd number of shells.
I grab a handful and look to make sure it’s not even.

I'm a goalie. Kinda makes the question rhetorical Hey, question for you. At the start of each period, the goalie scuffs up the ice in the crease. Is that a sort of superstition, or is there a practical reason for it?

I figured it was either control slipperiness, or maybe to build up a little dam to maybe slow up the puck.
