No, but I do respect superstitions.

For example: According to theatrical lore, it's the epitome of bad luck to say "Macbeth" in a theatre. Now, personally I could care less, but I know of quite a few people that really take it seriously. So even though I'm pretty damn sure I'll still survive either way, I'd never refer to it as anything but "The Scottish Play" inside a theatre.

I saw a perfectly sane, grown woman burst into a fit of tears because someone mentioned Macbeth in passing, by accident. Since then I've always tried to respect this shit around performances spaces...

Maybe not, but I would have been very interested to hear from that 1 person who clicked on "Yes" in the poll above.

Ah yes, the superstitions regarding actors. I've been in a few plays and many talent shows as an actor. Never say good luck. Always break a leg. I suppose I respect those traditions because they could tempt fate to a specific thing, one that I care about. However, things like "you have bad luck if you walk under a ladder" are pretty general, so I don't care.
