Break the mirror

A broken mirror attracts bad luck. Therefore, to avoid problems on the road, it is important to be careful when handling glass. Otherwise, it will be more expensive for you.

Pass under the stairs

This sign is associated with ancient Greek and Roman mythology, in which the ladder was considered a symbol of divine connection.

By walking under a ladder, you are supposedly breaking this connection and inviting trouble. Why risk it?

Sprinkle salt

Some people consider spilled salt to be a bad omen.

Salt was a precious commodity in the past, and such waste was always associated with financial losses. In other words, spill a jar of salt - expect waste.

Spot a black cat

Black cats have always been surrounded by various signs in many countries.

But in general, it is believed that if a black cat crosses the road right in front of you, this may foretell delays in travel, discord, disruption of plans and unpleasant delays.

Opening an umbrella indoors

This superstition has its roots in the times when umbrellas were associated with troubles on all fronts. Financial problems were especially feared.
