I can't be superstitious about 13th, I've got a birthday of that number!
I don't walk under ladders, if there is anyone up the ladder; they might drop something....
I like seeing black cats, finding 4 leafed clovers etc, but I don't in the slightest believe they affect 'luck'. Sometimes believing in luck makes it happen (especially bad luck), but that is just the effect of your own reaction.

Another version Nicos

The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil — a gathering of thirteen — and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as "Witches' Sabbath."

I absolutely will not pass someone on the stairs! No! No! No!...But that's more because I'm clumsy enough without adding extra hazzards!

Q. Are you superstitious...?
Do you hate it when a black cat gives you the evil eye, would you panic if you broke a mirror?
What do you think?

We have 2 black cats that are forever under my feet.
And every time I look into a mirror it cracks

I think you'd have to go a long way to find someone else as superstitious as me (although Friday 13th holds nothing but happy memories for me as it's the day I got married).
Never pass people on the stairs
Never put new shoes on the table
Never pick up a knife if I've dropped it
Someone else must pick up a glove if I drop one and I can tell them a time when they'll get a surprise
If I forget something on my way out and I have to go back for it, I have to sit down and count down from 10 backwards before I go out again

The list is endless. My grandchildren think it's hilarious!

[Glutton4...]

Flo - you're potty - I have to go back for stuff four or five times, I'd never get anywhere! I'd never heard that one anyway! LOL Nutter!

[Florence Fennel]

I also salute a lone magpie, count down from 10 and then say "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Mr/Mrs Magpie, how are your wife and children?", but if I'm with someone and they see the lone magpie as well, then that's ok, I don't have to go through the rigmarole.

Never look at a full moon through a window
If I see a new moon I have to turn my money over
If I enter through the back door, I can't leave by the front door
If I spill salt, I have to throw a pinch from my right hand over my left shoulder to hit the devil in the eye.

There are more, I'm afraid and yes I completely agree with you G4, but I can't help it!

[Glutton4...]

You want locking up! LOL

Well, one young man may be superstitious from now on. Yesterday (Friday 13th) a 13 year old boy was struck by lightning at the Lowestoft Air Show at 13 minutes past one (13.13). Fortunately he only suffered a minor burn.
