And more,
The same thing happens when you pass somebody's funeral.
The same thing happens if you don't hide your thumb when you see a hearse.
But I don’t care any of those.

Yes, but it wasn't a superstition but a epigram for people only one hundred years ago. There was good affection for daily life to keep their health by that epigram. People hadn't bright light, many people got tetanus because cut their nails deeply in the dark room. However, we can became able to use bright light in the night. It means They can't see their parents again because they might die before their parents deaths.

@Renan_Goncalves Shockingly we also don’t do that in China as well, but I don’t know why can’t we cut it.
