Shoes on a table are bad luck

Posted in Superstitions & beliefs | Author:   |  Comments  |  Last updated: 29th June 2012

I don't know where this superstition originates, or why it persists, but around the Leeds area at least it seems to be thought unlucky to put shoes on a table.

I've often had a metaphorical cuff round the ear from my wife for doing exactly that, although I've no idea why!
