Walking under a ladder is commonly said to bring seven years of bad luck, a superstition rooted in various cultural beliefs. This idea may stem from the triangular shape formed by the ladder, symbolizing the Holy Trinity in Christianity, and thus disrupting its sanctity. However, it's important to remember that such superstitions are largely anecdotal and vary by culture. Ultimately, it's all in good fun and not taken seriously by most.
