I have something that I would call a superstition. Sometimes, when I'm preparing for something (like going somewhere, preparing for a test, etc) and I have a weird thought about how something could go wrong, I have to make sure at least 3 times that I have covered against said possibility. So whether it be taking a particular thing with me, or like locking all my windows, or having my phone charged, or whatever, I make sure 3 or more times that I have done what needs to be done.
Surprisingly when I have overrode that feeling, even if I made sure once, I have 100% missed it somehow later on. So I just don't take chances now.
Same. I push the door and jiggle the door knob of every exterior door of the house 3 times before going to bed. I also hit the lock button of my car fob 3 times. It’s actually annoying that I can’t pull on the door knob anymore because it automatically unlocks if the fob is nearby. My old late 2000s car didn’t have that so I checked all doors before walking away.
