Number 4 is considered unlucky due to its pronunciation being similar to “death” in some Asian cultures
Number 13 is actually considered lucky by some Australians
Do not cut fingernails on a Sunday, or you’ll have bad luck
Magpies must be greeted respectfully or they’ll swoop you and bring bad luck
Spilling salt brings bad luck, but tossing it over your left shoulder reverses the misfortune
If you give a knife as a gift, the receiver must give a coin in return to avoid cutting the friendship
Never gift an empty wallet or purse; always include a coin for luck
Never put new shoes on a table or bed, or misfortune will follow
If you see a pin and pick it up, you’ll have good luck; leave it, and you’ll have bad luck
Never open an umbrella inside the house, or you’ll have bad luck
