Fear of the Number Thirteen email this discussion to a friend?

Are you a person who does not like the number thirteen? Have you noticed that hotels don't have a thirteenth floor or the number thirteen on elevator panels. Thirteen is thought to be a very unlucky number by a lot of people in all walks of life. How do you feel about that number? Is there anyone who has had good luck in some way with the
number thirteen? Let's chat.

The number 13 doesn't bother me. I did notice that a lot of hotels don't have a thirteenth floor. It falls back to supersitions, and I am a supersitious person. But, for some reason the number thirteen is one superstition I don't buy into. I think it's because that was my volleyball number for a while.

...Hi there, thanks for your comment. I don't think much about the number until I hear someone talk about it or Friday happens to fall on the thirteenth. I really think it is a myth and things go on around any number, good and bad. I adopted the number 7 for some reason, as my lucky number, don't ask me why. Nice to chat with you, take care.

I don't think of 13 as being unlucky. Just the opposite because of the 12 apostles and the Christ..13.
ENJOY!

Thirteen? what's wrong with thirteen, I think I'm not kind of people who believe superstition much. I born on 13th day of the month, and until now I never experience anything unusual like unlucky or something, my life just normal as other people too. So I guess I'm not care much about thirteen number, it's just a number that's all.

....Hi there, thanks for taking the time to comment. You therefore, in my opinion, are the ultimate authority that it is just a myth and should not be taken seriously.
May all good things happen for you in the future. Take care.

Well, in Newfoundland, there are no buildings higher than 10 stories (to the best of my knowledge), so that's really not an issue, lol! Er.. I guess aif an elevator ever did stop on the "13th" floor, I'd probably crap my pants! But as for Friday the 13th? Nah. My sisters Birthday has even fallen on it a few times and nothing has come of it.


myLot reputation of 86/100. artistry (491)   ranked 564 out of 3,932 in thinker  3 months ago

....Hey there, love your title:o). Your remark about the elevator stopping on the 13th floor sounds like a good plot for a story. I think it is a myth started by gosh knows who and carried on. No merit in my opinion. Take care. Newfoundland eh, sounds intriguing.

Indeed, 13 is considered a very unlucky number but it doesn't bother me. They even say that friday the 13th is bad luck. Of my 18years of existence here on earth I can't agree that 13 is such a bad number. I don't have any experience of 13 being an unlucky number.


myLot reputation of 86/100. artistry (491)   ranked 564 out of 3,932 in thinker  3 months ago

...Hi there and thank you for your comment appreciated. Me thinks it is much ado about nothing, any number can be found in good and bad situations. Take care.


ktynnz (60)  3 months ago

We really shouldn't blame number 13 if we're having a bad day. It's just a number, it won't harm you. I just can't understand why some people get paranoid with this number.

The fear from number 13 is a superstition among the christians, for their religious reasons, & it spread to non-christian nations during the colonial era. Basically I don't find anything wrong with no. 13. I've heard about many misfortunes realted to no. 13(like dates), but I think you will find such incidents related to any other number.


myLot reputation of 86/100. artistry (491)   ranked 564 out of 3,932 in thinker  3 months ago

....Hi, hi, thanks for commenting. I think that you are very correct. There may be another number that has had more disasters fall on it as a date, than the number 13 or Friday the 13th, just don't have the stats. Take care.

13 doesn't bother me,but i can't walk under a ladder without crossing my fingers or if i say something that will tempt fate i always touch wood

.....Hi doormouse, Thanks for commenting. We all have things that make us skirmish,
I can remember trying not to step on cracks in the sidewalk, for what reason, gosh knows. Take care.

there is nothing wrong with that number for me
when i was in school age, i always buy a bus ticket with that seat number
and 13 is the number of my son, my family consist of 6 person and so does my wife's


myLot reputation of 86/100. artistry (491)   ranked 564 out of 3,932 in thinker  3 months ago

...Hi oedhapost, thanks for your response. I think any number can probably be tied to a series of good and bad things. Somebody just stuck 13 with most of the bad things, probably for no good cause. Take it easy.
