- Avoid cutting your nails on Sunday. it is thought that whoever does so is followed closely by the Devil the following week. A very old rhyme was made about this :
Cut them on Monday, you cut them for news
Cut them on Tuesday, a new pair of shoes
Cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for wealth
Cut them on Thursday, you cut them for health
Cut them on Friday, a sweetheart you'll know
Cut them on Saturday, a journey you'll go
Cut them on Sunday, you cut them for evil
For all the next week, you'll make friends with the devil.- Collector
