I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has~
So, do you knock on wood for good luck? Are you superstitious at all, and if so, what other small things do you do, to ensure your luck?
I don't find myself knocking on wood very often, but when I do, It's one of those times where I need all the luck I can get. x3 I can be Superstitious to a slight degree, but I'm not so obsessive about it. I don't personally have any specific rituals I follow to ensure luck, but I do always find myself hoping that my good luck holds out. XD |
I'm not very superstitious at all. I don't see the point in it. You just do your best at whatever your about to do.

I think everyone is even the slight bit superstitious although they may not think so in general, mellow moods of the day. In certain cases things, when do start looking glum and they become slightly desperate, it's natural for them to reach out for anything that could give them hope for the situation. In my case the most I really do is cross my fingers for good luck, even pray for the safety of other people. Personally, superstition is no harbouring turf within my beliefs, but when worst comes the worst it would be great to try and stay optimistic, even if it involves hoping for the slightly unrealistic, you may attain a motivated attitude that will get you out of that rut.

Lol what knock on wood? I've never heard of that one o___o So I obviously don't.
... *goes and knocks on wood* |
It's Touch Wood isn't it?
Anyway, I have my moments where I am superstitious (only in weird circumstances, such as Friday the 13th... Someone fainted on that day, someone else had a little fit thing on the floor... weird...), but I know it isn't true. I tend to argue against superstition most of the time. |
I am supersitious sometimes. When I am, I want to keep good luck in my corner. It hasn't happened in a while, but I would knock on wood.
|
i am VERY superstitious....as in i knock on wood...when i spill salt i toss it over my solder, when i sweep my feet i spit on the broom, when a black cat crosses my path i lay down on the ground and ask god to kill me now and save me the suffering... drag my feet on the ground, when i go over railroad tracks i lift my feet (even when i am driving XD!) so yeah i am a bit weird to be around at times:D:P:D:P
|
B + ^. It never fails.
XD Anywhoo, no, I'm not really superstitious. I do cross my fingers sometimes, but it's just out of habit, I don't think it actually does anything. XD |
Where chance is what can happen and luck is attempting to change the odds of the things happening, I don't believe in luck at all, whether it be good or bad.
|
I do knock on wood....and I can be superstitious....but I'm more paranoid.....
That's the impression that I get. (lol, Mighty Mighty Bosstones reference) |
I'm not superstitious at all. To prove this point to my friends, I once walked under a ladder ten times in about a minute in order to show them nothing unlucky would happen to me.
|
I'm not superstitious in the slightest...There's nothing about knocking on wood or any other form of controlling luck that's logically going to change anything. Superstition isn't worth the time, just live your life and accept the consequences =P
|
If you don't knock on wood here when a death is mentioned or rumored you are looked at like some devil person who wants death. So yes I knocked on wood so many times you can say that I am a master at banging wood.
|
Unless knocking on wooden doors count, I don't knock on wood. I haven't even heard of it until now, infact.
As for superstition all round, I'm a tiny bit, butt hats only with the usual stuff (umbrellas inside and black cats, I usually joke around with those). |
I've never knocked on wood. It always has seemed... odd to me.
|
I actually do, but not in the correct manner.
You see, whenever I say something bad, like, 'i'll get cancer' or 'I hope you fall off a cliff' I knock on wood. Because my mother's scared me into thinking it'll actually happen, gah. |
I knock on wood, usually when I mention something bad and I don't want it to happen to me. But it's really random, if I do it. Most of the time I don't bother. For most of my life I hadn't even heard of this superstition. It's not like I believe it'll actually happen if I don't do it. It's more of a silly thing to do.
As for other superstitions, I don't usually follow them. I don't think anything bad will happen to me just because so-and-so happens. |
Uh, not that much. Well, I used to, but it went away somehow. As the time go by, I just stopped feeling that breaking a mirror would give me seven years of bad luck, unless if while smashing my bathroom's mirror, I was unfortunate enough to swallow my gum…
|
Nope i've never ever ever done it for good luck.
I only do it for a jinx when someone else talks and says the same word at the same time. |
I don't knock on wood. It just isn't something I'd be able to remember to do.
I'm more of an anxious person than superstitious. |
No, not superstitious at all. I own a black cat that crosses my path all day long XD

and I think all of that bad luck stuff is a myth :t354:TG |
I tend to be superstitious sometimes and I do knock on the wood. =D
|
I do not belive in something like that, so I don't do it. There is only one exeption: horseshoes. they always brought me luck, so I'm kinda used to having them near me when there are exams. and you can know out perverts with them :D
|
When I am playing tennis I always have to twist it around in between each point xD. And when in goal for penalties and I have to kick both posts three times :P
