things your parents told you not to do for whatever reason. for instance, i dont whistle outdoors at night, and dont point at stars.

 

cant have turtles as pets cause theyre bad luck.

 

i was told never to go into a womens purse.
never to ask a women her age.

 

that's just common sense :slap:

 

I was told to excuse myself if I ever peed out in nature... As in, if I went on a hike, peed on a tree, before i did it, I would have to say excuse me :hsugh: so that I don't anger spirits that might be wandering around me h:

Don't walk over graves, walk around them... - So basically you're not disrespecting the dead

There is more, but I don't recall them, my Filipino grandma told me most of them...

Edited:To add explaination to why

 

but i use to get really confused when i would go out to snatch purses on the 1st and 15th

 

no whistling at night
dont buy girlfriends perfume
dont buy girlfriends shoes
dont leave the chopsticks stuck vertically in the rice bowl

 

When someone just put a jinx on something, Turkish people might make a kissing sound to the air while tapping three times on a piece of wood, and say, (translated) "May a bullet shoot through the devil's ear, so he wouldn't hear that you said that."

I say it in my head when situations arise.

 

Why is that?

 

That's fucked up that you would know that!! :lmao:
