a lot of buildings do not have a numbered 13th floor, of course nor do a lot of elevators have that number. Many people of long ago claimed something bad happened to them on the 13th day of a particular month . There are many myths out there from long ago about 13 though they have been dispelled in modern times the fear continues, especially for those who are very superstitious

In Italy the nbr 13 is considered lucky. I've never feared it or avoided it. I'm not superspicious.

AstroScout, That was before they learned the actual science & mathematics of hanging so that the neck snaps rather than a strangulation or decapitation.

in numerology 13 breaks down into the number 4 which is my life path number so 13 isn't that scary

I like what Mitch Hedberg had to say about the number 13…
“If you’re living on the 14th floor; come on! You know what floor you’re really on. If you commit suicide from the 14th floor, you will die sooner. And if 13 is unlucky, then so must be the letter ‘B’… because it looks like a squished together ‘13’.”

My beautiful son Jack was born on Friday 13th, he makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world

"if the number 13 is unlucky, then so should the letter B be, because it looks like a scrunched together 13." -Mitch Hedberg 😂😂

How pity. 13 is just a number, it shouldn't be considered as unlucky!
