semihero_pietroThey say that if you break a mirror, you're going to have bad luck for seven years.
That seems a bit silly, doesn't it? I mean, you have to feel bad for the people then who work in those mirror manufacturing places. I'm sure they break like, dozens of mirrors a day! How can you say that you're gonna have seven years of bad luck breaking a mirror?
And what constitutes a break? I mean, would a hairline fracture in the glass consider it broken? What about those spiderweb looking smashes you get if you slam something into one? Or does it actually have to shatter and fall completely away from the frame to get the bad luck?
And does size count? I mean, if a girl breaks that little lipstick mirror, since it's so little, do they get maybe only 6 months? and if you walked into a house that had a big mirror acting as a wall and you broken that, are you doomed for your whole natural life?
And what about accidents verses intentional? I mean, if you break a mirror yourself, are you gonna get the worser end of fate than someone who is just a klutz?
Now you want to know a foolproof way to get cursed? Forget the broken mirrors. Have a witch for a sister. Trust me, my takes great delight on putting curses on me.
