Many bowlers will not take their turn if a "split" is showing in the lane to their left or right. It is just an unfounded fear, but one shared by many (not me).
Do you have any superstition or "unreasonable" fear, phobia, or obsessive behavior?

I'm not really superstitious, PBK.
My "crossing my fingers for you" comment in your
Job Interview Question was my little way of saying
that I hope you get the position.
I do always say "God Bless You" when someone
sneezes but that is only an automatic thing, I don't
believe their soul is about to depart their body! lol ;)
And Millie-I have no problem walking under a ladder.
Now climbing them...that's an entirely different kettle
'o fish!

My manager says I'm suffering from OCD, that is when I start something I won't let go until it's finished or resolved, I like things done in an orderly manner (makes work more efficient,less stressful and more productive in amongst the chaos) but I have an absolute terror of spiders, I also believe in superstitious behavior and self fulfilling prophecy.

Arachnophobic...see? Another label. lol
I'll have to see what the fear of climbing a ladder is called.

It's more of a bad luck thing. Maybe a little obsessive. A phobia is an intense fear of something, the person will try to avoid it, get away from the it, and become ill or have a panic attack. Depends on the person.
I don't count my chicks before they are hatched either. That is inviting bad luck. I don't spend what I don't have, that is inviting trouble.
I have an intense fear of snakes, but I don't act on it. No one will ever know I was afraid. That night I will have nightmares and maybe sleep walk. I try never to give into fear, I don't always win.

There have been many more robberies ind break-ins, since our economy went downhill. People are desperate and I am locking my doors, even in the daytime. That is my only fear.

Bob and Daisy, you are both very well protected. I too have a weapon and wont be afraid to use it.

know that at least for me that every good means a bad is coming and vice-a-versa. Looking and learning and helpless in the balance of things in my life and in living things gets me very superstitious.

If an Alien crosses the street in front of you on a sunny Tuesday afternoon you will have good luck for 27 Wednesdays in a row.
If an Alien sits down beside you on a bench in the rain without an umbrella you will have very very good luck for 16 and one half years after you turn the age of 33. If this happens after the age of 33 nothing much happens to you at all.
If an Alien jumps into the back seat of your moving vehicle while on your way to the dentist's office on a Friday morning you will have extremely bad luck every second Monday for the rest of your life.
That's pretty much it.

I wouldn't say I'm superstitious but rather...mediocrestitious.
I love black cats (or dogs, rabbits, eagles, mice, sasquatch...you catch my drift...) I like ladders. I love full moo-ooo-oons!! And I always leave gifts in the forest like sage...or seashells....or apples...and not just any apples either...we be talkin' good organically grown B.C. apples...and I love the number 13. Oh well...

I am superstitious when it comes to purchasing scratch tickets. Oddly enough, I always feel jinxed when a store clerk wishes me good luck as I'm turning to walk out of the store with the tickets.
