    I know about #1, but not the rest. I believe there’s a similar superstition about your eye twitching too. Kwa Rai, Sai Dee. Right-Bad, Left-Good.

    I don’t know about that one. My left eye twitched for a like a week. I didn’t win the lottery…

    Wow! In my place we only have two:

    1. If you sneeze just sitting, someone is thinking of you. But if we sneeze stacatto, then someone is complaining or like that.
    2. If someone sneezes behind you when you leave for a trip, its not a good idea.
