i put 'russian' because i've found that many people i know have no idea why i do some of the things i do.

  • a man has to take his hat off indoors.
  • if the aforementioned hat is placed on a table, the homeowners will lose money.
  • it's bad luck to whistle indoors, or else you'll lose money.
  • in the case that someone drops silverware...
    • a fork means a woman will be the next guest.
    • a knife means a man will be the next guest.
    • a spoon means a bear will eat your child (ok, this is total bullshit).
  • an empty bottle should be placed on the floor.
  • our version of knocking on wood - spitting thrice over the left shoulder.
  • if you forgot something, and have to come back to get it, you have to look in a mirror before you leave again.
  • it's bad luck to name a child after a living relative.
  • it's bad luck to celebrate a holiday/birthday early.
  • you should sit down before traveling.
  • props to olya - if you step on a manhole, bad fortune will come to your family.
  • if you walk with your friend, and both walk around each pole's sides, you'll have a fight.
