I’m not a superstitious person, so why is it I feel very uncomfortable about crossing days off of a calendar before the day has ended 
Even if it is something like 11pm, I can’t cross the current day off.... well, it’s not finished yet has it.
I feel really uncomfortable when I cross it off by accident.

We all have our little quirks
I don't cross days of the calendar,but I do keep them all and look at them every so often,they bring back memories as well as highlighting how quick time passes |

"Maybe it has more to do with OCD than superstition lol   "
I can happily not cross days off. In fact I frequently forget and have a week or so to cross off in one go.... that's when I get carried away and accidently cross off the current day *shudders* |

That's what I mean by OCD - it cannot let you go past the current day until it has ended yet is quite happy to allow you to leave it for a week without crossing them off as it's all in the past. It's like your mind does not like you pre-empting the future. |

The crossing off of a day represents accomplishment and completion.
If you cross it off before it's finished then the present becomes the future and yet you know it cannot be and you cannot commence the next day proper and the 'extra' time you have created is a psychological limbo.  |

It feels more like throwing time away .... ok that's starting to sound odd lol |

Ah, well maybe that has more to do with wanting to live every second. I've found that as I've got older I'm quite happy to just let time drift by without me lifting a finger - perhaps I'm just a lazy fooker lol |
