My Superstitions

Keep your shoes on the floor please!!

Shoes on the bed
I am superstitious about leaving shoes on the bed. I don't know why but my grandmother always said it was bad luck to leave shoes on a bed; or a chair or any surface above the floor for that matter. I have no idea what will happen if you do, but I know it's BAD.



I don't know; maybe she just said it to keep the dirt off the bed or chairs, which would make perfect sense. But whatever it was - it stuck in my head forever. My mother and my sister both understand - they learned it too. But my husband and kids think I'm crazy.



So then the dilemma comes -- what if I'm packing a suitcase? Does it count if you put them inside a suitcase that's on top of a bed? Or do I put the shoes in after I put the luggage back on the floor?



And you can imagine my horror when I walk into the shoe department of a store and see shoes all over the chairs! What are they thinking? Don't they know something evil is lurking?
