  1. To slip a hook into the wrong eye when fastening a dress is considered a sign you should watch against ill luck all that day.
    When your ear tingles it is supposed to be a sign that you are being talked about. You should think about the person who is likely to be mentioning your name and say his or her name aloud. The tingling will cease if you guess correctly.
