not picking up glove of floor

Hi my mum would never let me pick my glove up of the floor if i dropped it, she used to say it was bad luck, and she would say what goes to the floor comes to the door, and tell me i would have good luck,
anyone else heard of this..............were does it originate
thanks

It is unlucky to drop your glove and pick it up yourself; if someone else does it, good fortune will follow for both of you.

INSIDE OUT: it is lucky to put on an item of clothing inside out, although you must not change it until the time you would normally take it off, for the luck to hold. William of Normandy inadvertently put on his shirt of mail back to front just before the Battle of Hastings; when his courtiers pointed out his mistake and said it was a bad omen, quick-thinking William assured them it was not and was in fact a sign that he was about to be changed from a duke into a king.

***

BUTTON UP: It has always been unlucky to hook or button up any item of clothing wrongly (start all over again if you do); just as you should never put your left arm, leg or foot into anything first.

I know it's bad luck to put both feet in the same shoe.

Same as having a brolly open in the house....waste of piggin' time.

shoes on tables? should be on feet!

I got take mine off at back door

I won't mention soap.

See a pin and pick it up
And all day you'll have good luck.

thanks, but anymore idea where it comes from?

Not exactly process.

Glove Traditions, Superstitions and Beliefs
Certainly gloves have been worn by brides for many years and different countries have their own belief and traditions as well as good and bad superstitions.

In ancient Greece a bride placed a lump of sugar into her wedding glove believing that it would bring sweetness to their married life.

In the past it was believed that if you found a glove on the road on Valentine's Day, your future beloved will have the other missing glove.

In Russia it is considered taboo to shake hands with your gloves on, no matter how cold it is.

It is unlucky to drop your glove and pick it up yourself; if someone else does it, good fortune will follow for both of you.

It is considered bad luck to give a pair of gloves to a friend unless you receive something in exchange.

the old story was if you dropped a glove you touched wood with it before putting it on,it went what goes to the floor comes to the door touch it on wood and its sure to come good.

The only superstition I know regarding gloves is when you drop one to make a wish when you pick it up.

yes pick it up with your left hand touch wood and make a wish. I have never done and can't remember having bad luck after dropping a glove.

my missus always presses a piece o silver into a new born baby"s hand,

I knew a lady in the 60s who used to say if you dropped a glove and you asked someone else to pick it up for you that person would get a surprise,so she would drop a glove on purpose and when someone else picked it up she would say you will get a surprise now and then add "meet me at half seven in front of the Regal

Depends if they were kid gloves or not...

I have heard of the superstition, Process, but so far have had no luck in finding out its origin.
