Feast upon my small collection of dumb German superstitions my mum has because they‘re hilarious
Hände begucken gibt Ärger (looking at specifically the entire palm of your hand brings trouble)
Von rechts nach links Glück bringt‘s, von links nach rechts bringt‘s Pech (if a black cat is walking across the road from right to left you get good luck but from left to right brings bad luck)
Einer kommt und einer geht (if too many children in a family are born someone‘s gonna die, at least that‘s how my mum uses it)
Washing clothes between Christmas and New Year isn‘t allowed, so much as looking at the washing machine wrong from the 24.12 to the 01.01 might as well kill you
Gifting someone shoes is a big no-no
Putting shoes (even if they‘re completely clean and freshly bought) on tables isn‘t allowed
If you put your hand in someone else‘s pocket, even when they‘re not wearing the piece of clothing, you will get a tooth ache (my step dad refused to check my brother‘s pant pocket for his phone (cause the kid TOLD HIM TO LOOK FOR IT) once and just chugged the thing into the washing machine and you best bet that phone was still in there and did a few minutes in there before my brother realised it had been in there and got it out)
If a pregnant person walks under a ladder the baby will just straight up perish
Breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck but if you don‘t sweep up the shards it gets reduced to seven hours (probably because the „Scherben bringen Glück“ (shards bring good luck) cancels out the bad luck from the mirror or some stupid shit)
(Might update later if I remember anything else that‘s good)
