Ok, i'm off sick from work today and so I need to entertain myself.....
So i wonder, do people believe in bad luck and good luck? Like black cats crossing your path = bad luck and a certain pair of undies = good luck and that kind of stuff?
I ask cuz i have a pal whose relationship broke up a day or so after a black cat crossed their path, not that she is stupid enough to think that was the cause.....but was it an omen of things to come...?? Or is that kind of thinking just asking for trouble, people will be constantly looking behind them and neurotically avoiding cracks on the pavement, etc...
On the flipside, i know people who wear a certain pair of boxers to any interviews they have and have gotten the job each time.....and i have it on good authority that yes, they are washed in between these interviews ;) .....so they somehow think that is a helping hand/good luck. Could it just be that the positivity of the IDEA of those undies being a good thing helps them to do better in the interview subconsciously?
Is it just all coincidence, or is luck really a thing? I'm not a philosophical person, and i am rubbish at debating, but i just thought i'd throw that out there since i'm bored :)
ha!
What do YOU think??

Eeh, good question... I would say, in the part about the shorts (and I do hope they're not lying to you about the washing) that it might be the positive effect they think that the boxer have is giving them a little extra confident in the interviews, but that is what we call luck? On the other hand, I have a black cat and should by now in that case be both dead and buried not only one time...
WOW .
Matt beat me to it lol.
I was going to say the shorts are more a confidence thing in my opinion.
Im far to rational to be believing its anything else.
As a poker player. Luck , good and bad hits all players. Its the skill that determines real winners.
A player can go on a "bad streak" but moreso they are playing worse starting hands,and not raising enough when they have good hands.
Now i have stevie wonder - Superstition , in my head now lol
