oh crap, I've just broken a mirror. Come and talk rationally to me...

[reikizen]

Oh bloody hell, I am not into hocus pocus but I feel irrationally worried about it Tell me it is annoying but meaningless!

[Hassled]

It's glass with clever stuff done to it. And by clever stuff, I'm not talking magic or witchcraft. The glass wasn't turned into a mirror by evil sprites. It was done in a factory by someone with dodgy tattoos called Dave. Dave doesn't have the power to blight your life because you've broken it.

Does that help?

[CuckingFunt]

Get a grip. You're a grown woman.

Only an idiot would believe that it is possible to incur bad luck (or anything else) through breaking a mirror.

[reikizen]

Harsh but fair. Just what I needed. Love the idea of Dave the mirror maker blighting random strangers lives

[YouLukaStunning]

It is just a mirror.....It is just a mirror..... It is just a mirror.....

AAAAAAAAargh

[KayHarkerIsKayHarker]

You have tidied up, haven't you? Those little shards of mirror glass are really nasty. They don't mean to be, obviously, but ouch if you get one through a fingertip.

[YouLukaStunning]

Lol at the poor misunderstood shards of glass not meaning to be nasty

[LadyoftheBathtub]

The way to deal with these irrational worries or OC-type concerns is to make up a new piece of superstitious bunkum (after all, they are all made up to start with) so for example, you broke a mirror - but did you know its not bad luck if it happens on a Tuesday? In fact it's good luck.
