Name an old wives tale that isn't true

Swallowing gum: It stays in your body for seven years. (False, it passes safely through your system.)

I had a friend who wasn't allowed to wear a hat because his dad was afraid it would make him prematurely bald.
i actually never believed my mom when she told me if i played with myself, i'd go blind....i'm beginning to believe her now.

Eating the crusts of bread will put hairs on your chest.

@Entwistle My sister used to say, "but I don't want hairs on my chest"

Picking a dandelion will make you wet the bed

Going outside with wet hair would make you catch a cold!

If you pee in the swimming pool, the water will turn dark blue.

Wait 30 minutes after eating before you go swimming. You’ll cramp and drown if you don’t
That going outside in wet hair will make you sick

Playing with fire will make you wet the bed.
@Thatsright Never heard that one.
That you can dissect a corpse using a Remington lady shaver. Totally doesn't work 😒

Eating watermelon seeds.... Just don't do it!.... They grow

If you sleep with a member of the opposite sex, you will get pregnant in the night because sperm cells will walk across the sheets like ants, which is why you should insist that your male partner wear a condom regardless of his intent when the lights go off.

You cannot make this stuff up. A female acquaintance of mine who is two years older than me, learned this from her over-controlling mother and still believes it to this day.
@swirlie Wow

@MsSwan
I know... and she was dead serious when she informed me of what happens if two people sleep together. Like, WTF?!
@swirlie I can't help but laugh.
Opening an umbrella in the house brings bad luck.

Putting your shirt on inside out means you’ll get a surprise.

Shaving hair makes it grow back thicker.
Oneofthestormboys · 56-60, M
Good call.
If the wind changes while pulling faces, you’ll stay like it. Utter bollocks.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Putting new shoes on the table is bad luck.
@Degbeme Never heard that one.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@MsSwan One of my mothers
BrandonWyatt36 · 36-40, M
Ummm when you shave your face it grows back thicker?... BS.. at least in my case... I shave everyday... And it only gets thicker if I go a day or two without shaving which I try not to
If you pee on an electric fence it shocks you🙄

Completely untrue

Cold gives you a cold. Or drinking something cold after something hot.
