Anyone Else?

I was telling my wife about a long-held habit of mine.  I am not a hugely superstitious person, and I'm not sure how I picked this up, but I find myself trying to start a staircase with my left foot and hit the top of a staircase with my right foot.  I have caught myself many a time counting unfamiliar staircases towards to top to ensure a nice 'right foot' landing.
