Help....

When you spill salt, which hand and which shoulder are you suppose to use???

Left hand right shoulder, left hand left shoulder. right hand left shoulder,Right hand right shoulder...

I end up pouring more salt out just so I can do all the combinations to make sure I get it right..

Bloody old wives tales...

SALT	Bad luck will follow the spilling of salt unless a pinch is thrown over the left shoulder into the face of the devil waiting there.
	Put salt on the doorstep of a new house and no evil can enter.
	Salty soup is a sign that the cook is in love.

I found this on the net:

This superstition can be traced back to the Middle Ages. At that period in history, salt was a very valuable and expensive condiment and the waste of something like that would bring you bad luck. Another origin is thought to be derived from Judas spilling salt at the Last Supper. To avoid bad luck from having spilt salt, you are supposed to throw a pinch over your left shoulder. Again, this remedy has Christian origins and to do with the devil. You throw the salt into the devil's eye and by doing so, blind him and deflect the bad luck and bad health he had in store for you. It's the left shoulder and not the right, because the angels are sitting to the right hand of God and the seat of the devil, who is the fallen angel, was to His left.

Also mentions walking a ladder and breaking a mirror.

I'm not superstitious so do nothing.
However having high blood pressure I rarely use salt.
