Ladders
Pragmatists would say that you don't walk under
ladders in case they fall on you. One belief is
that the ladder forms a triangle with the floor
and the ground and, depending on who you
speak to, this either represents a holy symbol
from Egyptian times or the holy trinity from
Christianity. Either way, walking through that
triangle, violates it and brings bad luck.
