9/14/2006 - Walking Under Ladders

Here is one of your well known and classic supersitions which I am sure most of us are familliar with and particuarly heard when we were kids. I thought I would talk about it today sense it did come up.

The idea that walking under a ladder is bad luck, now this is another of the ones in which you can see where there is some practicality behind it. As if could be unsafe to walk under a lader partiuraly if it was one in use.

This is one of the superstitions that I never really tought much of and just thought was silly and never could cliam any real beleif in it, and genreally tended to disreagurd it, but then today, perhaps simply becasue this month had a rocky start of my, or duing theses posts put it more subconciously in mind, but we are having the rook on the house worked on, and I had to go outside, and then I was comming back, there was a ladder that the workers were using propped against the house, and for a moment I almost passed right under it as that was the more direct route to the door, but something made me pause and walk around it instead.
