True or Not?

Met up with my bro and sis-in-law for dinner just now and my bro ate so full till even himself also find that he's very close to the steering wheel and the driver's seat very cram. LOL! So i took out my camera and took a shot of him but they asked me to delete the photo because they're very "pantang" about this. They told me that cannot take photo of the driver with the car/bike.
Years back, my bro took the first picture of himself and his bike and after that he got into 2 accidents and before that the didn't get into any. I'm not sure about this taboo tho. But here's some others that i have heard of:

1. Always finish your rice. (or your future spouse will have lots of pimples on the face)
2. Never stick the chopsticks vertically into the rice bowl. (causes extremely severe bad luck since it symbolizes praying to the dead)
3. No swimming during hungry ghost month.
4. Cannot give shoes as gift (esp. for couple)
5. Never sleep with (head or feet i forgot which) facing the door/window or having a mirror opposite of you.(forgot why. i only remember it's something got to do with your soul)

Have you guys heard of any others? Feel free to share! =)

P.S: i'm very superstitious and afraid of ghosts. =x LOL!
