SUPERSTITION

IN ONE DOOR AND OUT ANOTHER CAUSES BAD LUCK.

Submitter comment: THIS BELIEF WAS EXPLAINED THROUGH WHAT IS SEEN AS "NORMAL". IF YOU
ENTER THROUGH ONE DOOR IT IS "NORMAL" TO EXIT THROUGH THE SAME
DOOR. EXITING THROUGH ANOTHER DOOR IS SEEN AS DEVIATION, AND
DEVIATION FROM THE NORM RESULTS IN BAD LUCK.
