In most parts of the world, the number 13 is considered unlucky or unauspicious. People often postpone any major functons like marriage, baby shower, purchase of new vehicle or booking a new house on 13th.People avoid living in flats having number 13.
I used to live in Flat D-13 and lived there for two years and it was a very fruitful stay for me.

Dear I was born on 13th September and I do not consider myself unlucky in any matter. It might be an old convention to consider 13 as unlucky which may not have any relevance as of now.

@avi256 - Yes, you are very right. There seems little truth in authenticity of otherwise of lucky number or unlucky number. It is only a mind game.

Yes lots of people believe in it being unlucky and to have bad luck on that day. I don't believe in it. I don't think anything bad has happened to me on those days or at least not that I can remember. I always celebrate as a good day. Being positive about it instead of negative about it. It's just a day like any other day and it can be good or bad.

@avi256 I see 13 as any other number the likely hood is 12 out of those 365 days this year.

@ShyBear88..Thats really a very realistic way of looking at it.
I beleve if 13 is unlucky, other numbers could also be unlucky and viceversa.
The problem is few historic beliefs when get strengthened with time starts resulting in creating this kind of conception and then becomes a norm.
