Would you walk under a Bus?????That is not considered a superstition,but is far more risky than walking under a ladder!!!
Superstitions are a pile of S***,How can inanimate objects have an effect on personal luck....
Superstitions Date from the medival days when people had fewer answers to the mysteries of scientific ways,so they found these tales of sanity a way to explain methodology and explain strange phenomenon..
A clear example of how pathetic superstition is....
In Medival times Women who were considered to be witches were punished by Drowning,if they were suspected of being a witch or dealing in witchcraft they were tied to a Chair and held under the water until they drowned.....if they floated or survived being suffocated under the water they were proved to be witches and were then of course burnt on a stake,if they didnt float they would obviously drown..
Superstitions are used as a Form of comfort,nothing more,you cant influence inanimate objects neither can you move them with your mind,so How can beleif in such ideology affect time and space
