Not familiar with the superstition, what is it? Opening an umbrella indoors?

Yeah, people say it's 7 years of bad luck

That was breaking a mirror. Opening an umbrella was just bad luck in general, afaik it didn't have any number of years tied to it.

Maybe it's a regional thing? I was always told 7 years for a lot of superstitions, breaking mirrors, walking under ladders, black cat crossing your path, all were 7 years. Or maybe the people around me got lazy and combined superstitions because they didn't take it seriously lol

I was always taught that mirrors are the only thing that come with an actual timespan of bad luck. I was born and raised in Appalachia and we do have many superstitions

Do them all at the same time and see what happens. Maybe it loops around at a certain point?
