MY grandmother is highly superstitious. I hate it when I have an itch or accidentally drop Silverware. She's crazy when it comes to that shit.

It’s true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets its wings. But what they don’t tell you is that every time you hear a mouse trap snap, an angel gets set on fire.

I have to eat the whole cookie before reading the fortune, or it won't come true. Or something.
Once in high school I got "You will excel in the field of biomedical research." This was really true, as I was the person to wreck the curve on the final in AP Bio that year... but I hit a snag on Chem II.
I used to do the "...in bed" thing, and stopped in 2006 with the fortune "Bend the rod while it is still hot" because I quickly realized that nothing would ever top that, and retired the habit.

And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

A snap that kills, or one by setting it wrong and getting your fingers caught?

jermaine and i wanted to own a restaurant and give fortune cookies with really specific things like, say two people are on a date and the girl goes to the bathroom, and we put the fortune cookies out immediately afterwards. the male's would say something like "she didn't flush"

I have three fortunes taped to the mirror in my room: you are talented in many ways, you will travel to many exotic places, and you will spend your old age surrounded by comfort and wealth
my friend got one that said "you will have an alien visitation soon." and now I guess I am going to bed since I am out of battery power
I toss the salt over my shoulder, but only so I can tell the story behind the superstition to anyone who asks. It really changes people's outlooks.
Bunch of little old Mexican ladies just sitting around. Blinding Satan.
Shit I don't know this and I now desperately need to
Apparently, the Devil is always looking over your left shoulder, waiting for you to screw up so that he's allowed to wreck you up and give you bad luck and the like. Since salt was a valuable substance in its own right and considered one of the purest substances, being careless enough to spill it was a pretty significant screw-up. So you throw it over your shoulder so that it gets in Satan's eyes and blinds him before he can see what you did.
An interesting and slightly creepier variant involves eyelashes. If you wipe your eye and come back with an eyelash stuck to your finger, you're supposed to try to shake it off over your left shoulder while making a wish. If the eyelash is gone on the first try, your wish will come true.
It seems ol' Scratch has a thing for eyelashes. I guess he collects them? Bargaining with the Devil for wishes using parts of your own body always struck me as unwise business practice, but whatever.
I was insulted by a fortune cookie not too long ago.
"Good clothes open many doors. Go shopping."
Well fuck you too, cookie.
"There is something in your teeth - I have placed a toothpick under your seat for this very moment. Also, a car will pull up to the front door in five minutes - do not worry about the check. Get inside, and await further instructions."

You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

Yeah but the devil's in the details.

You can never put shoes on the table
You cannot directly pass someone a container of salt- it has to touch the table, then they can pick it up themselves
and God help you if you open an umbrella indoors
honestly, the shoe and umbrella things aren't so much superstitions as common sense
my friend got one that said "you will have an alien visitation soon." and now I guess I am going to bed since I am out of battery power
No fortune, just the website. It was like a tasty popup.

After getting that one night, I didn't get an actual fortune in a fortune cookie for three years.

Who takes their shoes off in a resturant? That is weird.
Also, for some reason this reminded me of sushi and now I wish I had money for some good sushi.
