What was an absurd rule you had to follow when you were growing up?

@SW-User were any of them linked to superstitions?

@cherokeepatti Honestly I'm drawing a blank because I learned to just not listen to them and tune them out. 😂

@SW-User My ex’s mother had a bunch of superstition-based rules she thought everyone ought to follow. Don’t pop a blister during the daytime, wait till the sun goes down or it won’t heal up. I rubbed a big blister on my heel from walking and was at her house and she tells me this one and come sundown she brings the alcohol and needle so I could pop it. Don’t let cats in the house if you have a baby because they’ll jump up in the crib and sucked the breath out of the baby. That was just two of them. Eventually I became amused by them and started reading about superstitions in various locals.
