glove superstition

gigawatt

when I was a kid if my mother dropped one of her gloves she had a strange superstition about it that if she picked it up herself she would have bad luck, but if a somebody else picked it up they were granted good luck and a wish. All her sisters were the same, but I've never met anyone else who has heard of this superstition, is there anyone out there who has heard of this before??:)

Are you sure she wasn't just saying that to save her the effort of picking it up herself?

Yeah my mate does it all the time, I had dropped her glove (without her seeing) to annoy her, she was annoyed, but it backfired when she was annoying me to pick it up.

We were meeting for lunch and she stood up the road from the shop waiting for me to arrive to pick her damn glove up!

I never heard of it before her and she is quite ocd about stuff so if your mam is too it makes sense..

It was like The Ring , your mother did not want the bad luck so she got you to take the bullet for her :pac:

I know a guy who has to repeat verse to avoid spending the afterlife in a fiery pit, weird.

When I was a child, if me and my friends saw a glove on the ground (like a workman's glove left at a building site or something), we'd shout "dead man' glove!" and run away. We had this urban legend built up in our minds about a freaky man who dropped gloves around the place...and was dead. Used to be scared shítless.

I've heard that superstition before, OP! It's not just your family. Might have heard it from my granny, or in school, my teachers were disturbingly superstitious now that I think of it
