Mines left glove first - always. More of a habit than a superstition.

kissing my girlfriend bye and being sure to say 'see you later'

And also a glancing nod to any reefs or flowers at the side of the road.

Key fob right way up....check.

Left boot first....check.

Right glove last.....check.

See an ambulance, wave (well, I am a Paramedic).

Never own a green bike/car....check. Have owned both.....only once....I don't want to talk about it!

Other than that.....ummmmm, always leave the house by the same door I came in.

Probably lots more but I don't want to scare you all!!!

That is weird!

Having said that, I do the same...but I always put on the left glove first!

No-one has ever seen me do it I bet, but everytime I ride now, ever since I lost my Nan I do the cross the chest thing (the North south east west thing, I don't know the name of it) as I set out. I know it may seem pathetic but I know she is there to protect me.

I also do the left glove first.
