I refuse to hand a salt shaker to someone directly, or take it directly out of someone's hand. It has to be put down first. I also throw salt over my left shoulder if I spill some. I won't walk under a ladder but I am rarely forced with making that choice. Horseshoes need to have the semi-circle at the bottom! I have one Irish cross over one of my doors...............I'm sure there is more stuff. Occasionally I will knock on wood. I love the song Knock on Wood.
