The Torah forbids one to act based on superstitions. (Vayikra 19:26)
For example: Saying "Because the bread fell out of my mouth / my walking stick fell / a deer crossed my path, therefore I will/won't do something" is forbidden.
Similarly, when being asked for a loan at the beginning of a week / month it's forbidden to answer "please don't make me start the week/month by lending money".
Refusing to walk under a ladder for fear of injury is a Mitzva; the Mitzva of looking after your wellbeing.
