Why do Japanese people hide their thumbs when a funeral car passes?
Much like Americans (when in their youth) try to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk to avoid breaking their mothers back, Japanese people feel that if their thumbs are exposed while passing a funeral, or a hearse drives by, that their parents will die young. So they keep their thumbs hidden. Although there are some adults that still practice this, (Japanese tend to hold on to childhood things much longer than Americans) it is a silly superstition, that for the most part is not practiced by too many adults. Do you still avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk? =)
