I finally snapped a broom in half trying to break a mirror

Last Tuesday I dropped a hand mirror in the kitchen and it shattered into like 20 pieces. I panicked so bad because my grandma always said seven years bad luck for a broken mirror. So I grabbed the broom to sweep it up and somehow the broom handle cracked in two when I leaned on it wrong. Then I remembered my aunt swears you have to whisper sorry to the mirror pieces before you throw them out. I was standing there with a broken broom and a pile of glass literally apologizing out loud. Anybody else ever have a superstition backfire and make things worse?

I used to roll my eyes at all that superstition stuff honestly. But then I walked under a ladder and my car broke down the same day and now I feel stupid for not taking it more seriously.

lol that "feel stupid" part hits hard. I did the same thing with a black cat crossing my path, laughed it off, then literally tripped over nothing and sprained my ankle the next step. never again.
