Old Wives Tales and other Fetishes

Since the last few threads I've read seem to all be arguments (although for the most part respectful ones), I thought I would start something totally silly that we can all probably add to. . .

Me first:
I cannot fall asleep in what I call the 'funeral position'. . . .meaning lying straight on my back with my hands folded over my stomach. To me, this is how dead people are usually displayed and I cannot lay like that for any length of time. I've tried and it bothers me so much I have to move in order to fall asleep. Stupid, I know. . .
I also cannot stand in the shower directly facing the shower head with my eyes closed. Anyone ever see the movie where the girl is taking a shower and is facing the shower head when a spider falls right on her face???? (I think it's Bird on a Wire) Yes, this is the reason why I can't do it. . . . .my eyes have to be open if I'm facing the shower head. Again, totally stupid, but I just can't. . . .

Am I the only weirdo on here or does anyone else have anything they do or don't do based on some old wives tale passed down or through some other weirded out fetish they developed on their own?

Is there a therapist in the house?

Where is Rhoni when you need her?

We've already been through all of my weird oddities.

We'd probably do best not to recap them again.

I refuse to eat crabs.

It seems to me that it would be like tearing the pipes off your sewer treatment plant and dipping them in Old Bay.

These hideous creatures have a God-ordained mission but who'd a thunk somebody come along and say, why don't we eat the bay's sewer processing plant?

Not a crab fan here either... nor lobster... nor shrimp... too much... If they (shrimp) are fried I can do it but for a long time i couldn't... not boiled though.

One time I studied (at the behest of a friend who kept the dietary law) about pigs.

Didn't eat pork for years after that.

I don't like fish either...which is sad, because it is so good for you. It would be ok, if it just didn't taste so.....err.....fishy.

Oysters would be more to your liking I suppose.
