What's the most ridiculous superstitions you've heard from your mum?

Mine was if lady's panties are washed using washing machine, the whole family will be bankrupt because women have menses, and menses blood is dirty. So everybody uses the washing machine and it will affect the men's luck in the household. Even when you're pregnant, you're supposed to squat down and wash your panties yourself because everybody uses the sink, and that will affect the luck as well. #superstitions #randomtalk

Yup heard this from my mom before but another reason is also because it may spoil the elasticity. I did squat down when pregnant. Is good to do squats. As for the men’s luck, I think is just erm bullshit haha… separate wash but also nvr see men’s luck become better? Or maybe just didn’t worsen only. Got menses also cannot enter temple to pray. Actually got lots of ridiculous superstitions. Can’t blame them as they were brought up in that era. Just ignore and ‘appreciate the differences’ Don’t have to die die listen to them if you don’t believe in it.
