Concessions manager, my old boss, is trying to talk me up into putting half my paycheck into the employee betting pool again. Wish he'd lay off, after I told him not interested the first time.
At the stadium, some players won't wash their socks until they lose a game. Rabbit's feet are lucky to carry around too...and so are charms. People who like making bets on sports will take almost anything as a lucky omen. But when it's a lucky day for everyone, then it makes no sense to make bets on that, since one team's still got to lose!
And it's bad enough that there are people in this city who plan out their whole week based on whatever that horoscope lady says about their birth sign on Sundays! But what I really don't get are people who are so superstitious about a bunch of numbers.
Not that I don't ever believe in luck, because it works sometimes. But 11, 11, 11? It's just a day. It's not something so special on its own, unless you decide to make it special.
Like Friday the 13th, when it's supposed to be such bad luck? I've never had bad things happen. Have any of you? Or have you ever had the horoscopes be exactly right? What do you think?
