My Biggest Complaint About Ridiculous Beliefs, Superstitions, Religions And Cults

I had an english teacher in middle school who was (not only racist, but) extremely superstitious. This withered old hag ruined 7th grade for me and gave me an F. She wore this crystal around her neck that she claims contained a wolf spirit. She also refused to ever be photographed because she, like some native americans, feared the camera would capture her soul. I think someone took her photo because that soulless witch was evil.

But anyway, i don’t know where these dumb superstitions come from nor do i understand how they survive. I remember riding Amtrak from NYC to Myrtle Beach SC and the train was 3 hours behind schedule making a 10 hour trip a 13 hour trip. On the train ride home, there was no delay and I said to a female conductor “so looks like there are no delays today.” And she goes “shhhh! don’t jinx it!” Woman, I’m not gonna jinx us. If we’re delayed it’s because of dumbass amtrak. There’s no higher power bent on making us late.

Checking in a guest at my hotel. He’s been upgraded for absolutely no reason to a suite on the 40th floor (40F). I tell him this and he has the nerve to ask me to give him a different room. Why? “because 4 is unlucky for me” So I found a different room for him on the 31st floor. I didn’t bother to mention what 3 and 1 add up to for fear that he might piss and moan again.

Leave your dumb superstitions at home people.
