superstition

seb65

So, I may be being a bit nuts, but I need some advice.

A friend was visiting me in Ireland from another country. The friend got out of the car to take pictures of an abandoned Irish castle. When she came back to the car she said she had managed to get a small stone from one and was taking it home as a souvenir. I didn't really agree with that, mainly because it's ruining a heritage site and everyone did that it'd be horrible. I didn't really want to go into it with her though as I'm sometimes accused of being a stick in the mud.

Anyways, I also felt there was a bad luck aspect to it. I am slightly superstitious - not at the deep end of the scale or anything though. When she thought there might not be enough room in her bag, she was saying she might just leave it, but I told her wholeheartedly I did not want that thing in my house.

Anyways, since she's been home, she's pretty much experienced one misfortune after another - especially in terms of health - and she's never been one to get sick before. I am now visiting in her country and we were talking about all her (minor) illnesses that have occurred and she's said, "ever since I came back from Ireland". And then I said, OMG, you've been cursed from that castle rock! And she's was all freaked out.

Now I am coming back to Ireland and she wants me to take this stupid thing back with me and return it to the castle.

Thing is I am a very nervous flyer. Now, I know this is ridiculous, but I actually do not want that rock on the plane with me. Is this totally stupid? Is there some rule - and I can't believe I'm saying this - that an innocent person cannot have the bad luck cast on them? Sigh.

Jesus Wept

Yea it's stupid. Hope that helps. Enjoy the flight.

Pack it in your luggage & bin it when she's not looking or before you get to airport. She'll be happy & none the wiser, plus you won't get hit with excess baggage charges.

Go rob another stone to cancel out the one she took. Only when the 2 stones are reunited can peace and joy shine through

Hande hoche!

Post the stone home.

These two comments.... Facebook yourself outta here .

Where To

Relax OP.
People who are superstitous are much less likely to die in plane crashes than those who aren't.

Too long, didn't read it all.

Anyways, this friend of yours, nice boobs or wha?

You must retrieve the Jade Monkey before the next full moon to reverse the 1,000 year curse.

Indiana Jones-esque adventure and hilarity ensues.

Sounds like a thrill a moment time. That being said if you see Shia LaBoueuf, break both his legs and flee.

OP you need to spread the power of the stone across other stones so it is not as concentrated.

Youre gonna crash.

Sorry

Theres a big scrapbook at Ayers Rock/Uluru in Australia full of letters sent from people returning rocks they took and telling of all the misfortune they had since taking said rocks. Quite a good read if I do say so myself.

kneemos

Have you seen castaway.That stone is your Wilson.

Vicar in a tutu

She was bound to fall ill at some stage, we all are, We all also have streaks of bad / good luck... Stop blaming it on a stone!:rolleyes:

OP, your friend is cursed. You are lucky I've come across this thread as I have the mystical powers to remove this curse.

And all for the low low cost of 5,000e. What's worth more? Five grand or your friends life?

PM me for details.

If you don't, I'll be left with no option to curse you in order to balance this out...also your family.

Grayson

You'll be fine as long as you post that message on 6 bullitin boards and email it to 50 friends in the next 30 minutes. Plus Bill gates will donate one squillion dollars to help a poor legless baby.

If you don't do this then bad things will happen to you!! Your family will all get black lung and you will die within 24 hours.

Or you could just cop on and realise that it's just a piece of ****in stone.

For the craic, go ahead with her plan to take the rock home. Last day of your holiday as you're just about to leave her house for the airport with the stone in your pocket, say you need to use the jacks. Innocently leave the stone in the bathroom and off you go.

Turn on your phone upon landing in Ireland and enjoy the barrage of hysterical/hilarious texts you receive from her.

This, or as your driving by her house, fling the rock through her window with a little note that reads '' This isnt the end BITCH'' , She'll obviously begin to believe she's in some sort of Stephen King book.

You should inform the airline about this and post their response here

Badly Drunk Boy

Bring it home. Otherwise, the curse will transfer to you because of your unwillingness to rectify the situation by returning it, even though it's in your power to do so. It's true 'cos I read it on the radio the other day...

Micky Dolenz

I for one, am all up for our stones to be interfered with.

What flight are you gonna be on OP?
Just wanna make sure I miss it.
