Moving House Superstitions

cyrusdvirus

I'm in the process of packing to move to my new home, hope to get keys next wednesday. Everyone is telling me not to move in on a Saturday though....Why is this?

Saturday flittin', short sittin'! Also if it's an old house and you find a picture of "The Crying Boy", in the attic - leave it there and the house will never burn down or get flooded. Good luck with your move!

It's bad luck to be superstitious.

Cause you would have to get up early and therefore can't drink on Friday night obviously.

Whenever I move I always bleach the whole house down and then burn it down before I leave it.

Its the only safe way to get rid of the evidence

Just pay very close attention to it for a few weeks. At first it'll probably just try to sneak around when you're out, you might just see the littlest of movement out of the corner of your eye. But eventually when it gets comfortable with you, it'll be off out on your morning run with you, going down the pub with you and everything.

I just take the evidence with me, in my balls.

Superstitions are total bs, move whenever you want. if you attach any kind of belief to these things and there happens to be a fcuk up of any kind, you'd want to be some kind of a moron to blame a day.

Hate to piss on your parade there Quazzie, but even houses that have been burned out can leave evidence

Best thing you can do is to never actually leave the house if the finger isn't pointing at you, or there is not enough evidence to prove your involvement and a search warrant can be obtained. If you leave the house, the remains may be discovered by the new owners while making alterations to the house / gardens.

I think he is referring to his semen, wheras Quazzie was using the bleach for the blood spatter. Crossed wires I believe.

Hmmm yes but I just imagined him stashing a knife in his testicles.

people don't want you to move in on a saturday because they're afraid you might ask them to help you move stuff and spoil their weekend, you should get new friends

You're also supposed to bury a statue of St.Joseph upside down in the back garden when you move in. Or is that when you sell the house?

These bulls**t superstitions, I can never remember them all

It's bad luck because when you say you're moving in on a Saturday you have to listen to all manner of morons telling you it's bad luck.

Those paintings are meant to be the only unharmed items in houses that have burned down...

Anyway, don't move in on a saturday because you should use it as an excuse to take a day off work to do it instead.

If you discover an ancient American Indian burial ground in your back garden, whatever you do, DON'T dig up the skulls and have coitus with them, as that will bring vengeful spirits hell bent on retribution.

Also, beware of Hellmouths, and evil little girls watching TV in the basement.
