Which day of the week do you have a superstition about, and why? (lemm.ee)

The most famous is probably friday the thirteenth, but setting that aside, what other days in general (regardless of specific date) do you hold some superstitions about?

I never could get the hang of Thursdays

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same. Thursdays always sneak up on me and then I have to finish a ton of crap that i don't want to be dealing with on Friday.

Don't touch production on Friday afternoon.

Read only Friday or documentation Friday?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not superstitious. It's bad luck.

Kevin will ask for a change to production on Friday afternoon.

Only car accident I've been in was on Friday 13th. It was minor damage and I don't think it's reason to be superstitious.

I never push updates on a Friday because I don't want to work weekends if something goes wrong.

I never had a thing about Friday the 13th until I broke my ankle off on Friday the 13th in 2018. Not that I'm superstitious, it just got stuck in there and now I get a little heebie jeebie thinking about it cause I'm scared it will happen to my right ankle next.

For a long time I felt that caffeine just didn't work the same for me on Fridays, and actually made me sleepier on those days.
