That's nothing. You guys would love all the funny things my wife does as superstition.

Funny: hangs bell in front of door to ring before going in or out of the house to scare ghosts.

Funny annoying as fuck: beds must align south....except she doesn't know her south from apple juice.

Extremely annoying, house must face south... But that one has a big yard with fruit trees I like and a nice garage! This one is on a hill but it's facing south, there's a coyote in the back under 100ft tall pine trees. No luck ever removing those trees or planting any of our own. House actually faces nort West... But okay faces south, good.

Superstitions people. I have 0 tolerance. Somehow I married this one.
