Do You Think That Friday The 13th Is Bad Luck?

sonyguy
I believe that in some buildings that have 13 or more floors, skip floor 13 and go to 14 because they think that it would be bad luck.

So it would go:
Floor 1
Floor 2
.........
Floor 12
Floor 14

Stupid really...

to me anything unlucky in the superstition world is lucky to me. I think 13 is lucky and I think friday the 13th is lucky. I know about two pople born on a Friday 13th and both are extremely clever and talented people.

People only notice it more on Friday 13th because it has a reputation. The same things could happen another day but you wouldn't really care because it's not "the bad luck day" so it's all in the brain, I reckon.

You´re alrigth, and I believe the mith started with Jesus Christ and followers in the last supper, 1+12 = 13 ! the polemic number!

I think superstition is as valid as Arnold Schwazasdhkasldjaslk becoming governer.

I don't believe that Friday the 13th is bad luck. It's just a normal day like all the others. If anything bad happens to anyone on a Friday the 13th then it's just a co-incidence. Bad/unlucky things can happen on any day of the week, just like good or lucky things can happen at any time.

I think it's silly too, some of the things that have been done to accommodate for those people who do have a superstition about the number 13. Sonyguy mentioned about the missing 13th floor in some buildings. They also do this on planes and trains...they will skip the 13th row of seats and go straight to 14.

I remember once when my family was coming back from a holiday, everyones seat was in row 14...except for me, I had row 12. We all thought there would be a row of seats between us but when we got on there and I was just in the row in front of them. For the whole trip, I kept looking at the aisle numbers and it was annoying me that whoever made the plane couldn't count properly.

Now, if we all develop a fear of the number 12, then 11, then 10, they'll have to skip those numbers too and pretty soon there'll be no rows left. *nods*

Hmm, I've answered this question before.. somewhere!? Anyhoo, it was, in fact, originally supposed to be 'the' most luckiest day of the year, for many thousands of years, but some muppet religion came along and decided to change it to the unluckiest day, an ideal which is still lasting now.

Actually no.
I don't think that friday the 13th is bad luck for me.
It might be for others... but not me. The odd thing is, friday the 13th's are my lucky days! blink.gif

Yeah. I know, weird right? But I kind of do believe in bad luck, but not the kind where you walk under a ladder thing. More like karma. What goes around comes around? That kind of thing.

Maybe you can do an experiment and just walk under a ladder or say Macbeth in a theatre? What's the harm in that?

Friday the 13th to me is not a big deal. i've worn black on that day and nothing happened to me. I guess its if you believe in it or not. Like if you believe in it enough it does happen and if you don't than you just don't. It so happens tomorrow is Friday the Thirteenth. I hope nothing goes wrong. Well just the ocassional school to burn down but nothing else. lol.

So it is going to be Friday the 13th tomorrow. I think if you go into the day thinking that unlucky things are going to happen, anything unlucky that does happen will be blamed on the day. But it's usually stuff that happens everyday , Like I remember once when I was little I was sewing and I kept dropping my pens on the carpet and having to pick them up. I blamed Friday the 13th until someone reminded me that i was clumsy and I would have dropped them anyway.

My sister was married (her second marriage) on a Friday the 13th- It was in February and the church was booked up for Valentine's Day the next day. While we were about to go out she asked me, worried, "Do you think it's a bad sign getting married on Friday the 13th?" and I told her that there was no way it could be as bad as her first marriage. smile.gif I think this year will be their 8th anniversary and things are still fine.

13th Friday, black cat, passing under a ladder, breaking a mirror etc...

These are all... stupid :)

Probably some of them made up to scare kids, then people started to take them serius. People in past didnt have much for entartainment so they came up with many weird things ;)

By the way, you know... Friday is holy day for Muslims :)

    Any luck with them? (10)

    is curly and the back half is pretty straight. And it's a frizzy sort of curly. So I'm
    pretty fond of straightening it, but I know how horrible hot irons are for your hair, so I've
    been looking into straightening products... you know, gels and stuff you put in your hair. I
    usually use Frizz-Ease, which doesn't actually help straighten it that much but it defi....

    Here's what I found: Did you know... The most powerful earthquake in the US's history was
    recorded in ALASKA? And was a 9.2! It happened March 27, 1964 and is called either "The Good

    you really apply yourself. The bad news is that it takes a long time, a lot of work, and more than
    a little luck. In my own case, if my current programs hold up for just a few more months, I should

    that long. So, if I’m not rich already, why am I writing this? Because I see posts....
