I am usually not this clumsy, but within the past two weeks, I have broken three different bottles. Two of them were little make-up flasks (covergirl clean makeup, 110 classic ivory, if you wanted to know!), one about 15 days ago, the other last night. About an hour ago, I broke my new plant-mister which was an opalescent blue glass bottle with a pump on the top. I don't know about you, but if there were any viable superstitions on this, I would be a bit worried! I looked it up online but I couldn't find anything about broken bottles. Each time was an accident, each time dropped on a tile floor, if that matters any. Please help me out if you know anything about this! Thanks!

it's different from land to land. in my country, there's a saying, something like "shivers bring luck"/"don't worry, shivers bring luck".
it's a bad omen in other places, tho. u take it as a lucky one, ok?

There were but few superstitions hanging on broken bottles. This was mostly because the capping process of bottles decades ago could crack or chip the top of the bottle by the pressure it took to seat the cap. Practically, you could drink a glass chip and have injuries. On the cracked bottles, the whole top could break away and cause problems.
You didn't shake a capped bottle in those days--superstition- "Shake a bottle shake you up." because the pressure built up by shaking could literally explode a bottle with pressure cracks.
