Cool Asian Superstitions

Well superstitions, i don't really think of the occult or anything. But as Asians, we do have a lot of superstitions. So my request is to post the best ones you know~! Here is mine:

If you don't eat all the rice in your bowl, that's how many pimples you'll get.

Not Taking the Last Piece

Asians hate taking the last piece of food when there are eating in a group. I think it's bad luck.

If the palm of your hands get itchy, you'll be receiving money soon.

Oh! here's another one:

if you're eating and seated in one position and you move to another seat one or more times. Then that is how many times you'll remarry.

My mom says that the reason why my uncle's belly is so big is because he always rubs his stomach after he's done eating, and that we shouldn't pick up that habit or else it'll happen to us too. @.@
