It's not a superstition, but..
when I was little, about 8, my school went to the swimming baths once a week, and most of us just made our own way the baths, it not being that far from school.
part of the route involved a pedestrian underpass, and I used to run through and jump to try and touch the roof.
At about 11, I made it, and got such a buzz.
But at 11, I moved to secondary school and didn't go that way as often.
Nevertheless, every time I went through the underpass, i ran and touched the roof and got a buzz.
But I kept growing, and before long, i could touch the roof without running, then without jumping, but i did it anyway.
At about 24 or 25 I was walking through the tunnel with a mate and reached up and touced the roof. he asked why, I told him, he told me I was weird. Next time, with other mates, i realised this was something i did so should stop, so, decided to MTFU, and resisted touching the roof. But it was wrong, so i had to mumble something about catching up, went back, touched the roof, everything ok. Felt such a d1ck explaining why.
At 45, still doing it.
I'd still be doing it today if the underpass hadn't been filled in a year or two ago.
