Superstitions and Traditions

Like any normal human being, I get the occasional ringing in my ears.  I can never remember the superstition, so I decided to look it up.  Here is what I found:

When your left ear rings, somebody talks well about you.  When your right ear rings, somebody talks poorly about you.  The way to figure out who this somebody is, is to quickly go through the list of names that comes into your head (some believe that you say this list out loud in order for it to really work, but I don’t see how the list can change depending on whether or not you say it out loud), and the last name you think of/say before the ringing stops is the person who is either giving you a bad name or speaking well about you.

So, that’s why my right ear is always ringing?!
