FINGERNAILS
It is bad luck to cut your fingernails on Friday or Sunday.

KNITTING
It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. The intended recipient will get bad luck from the unfinished item.

ROCKING CHAIR
If you leave a rocking chair rocking when empty, it invites evil spirits to come into your house to sit in the rocking chair.

SHOES
Do not place shoes upon a table, for this will bring bad luck for the day, cause trouble with your mate and you might even lose your job as a result.

It's bad luck to leave shoes upside down.
