Today is Friday the 13th - are you superstitious?

Recommended Posts

So having locked my keys in the car Thursday evening, I figured, unlucky things can happen at any time.

 

What do you think of the superstitions surrounding Friday, the 13th?

 

I think this sums up what I believe (quote from a site on the net)

 

Like many human beliefs, the fear of Friday the 13th (known as paraskevidekatriaphobia) isn't exactly grounded in scientific logic. But the really strange thing is that most of the people who believe the day is unlucky offer no explanation at all, logical or illogical. As with most superstitions, people fear Friday the 13th for its own sake, without any need for background information.

I think if people believe in negative things happening they will. You get what you put out into the world. If you believe bad things will happen they will.

Just curious if you tap your head as I do when you say "knock on wood" if no wood or woody available?

My Granny taught me 13 is lucky but if you put a T-shirt on backwards it's bad luck to reverse it. Change to a new shirt.

As I write this my black cat is laying behind me. So far I have never had any bad luck/experiences on Friday the 13th knock on wood. Also heard that this is the one and only Friday 13th all year.

For me Friday 13th is just as any other day. Yes, even when today I lost my parking ticket at grocery store & had to go through the hassle of verifying I was the owner of vehicle and pay for another ticket I consider it a minor incident and still believe it could have happened any other day :)

Okay, the whole friend named Jason being born on the 13th thing is totally rad!!

 

And that being said, I have to report that my Friday the 13th was pretty successful!

Not only was I off work in time to catch the Dayglo's, but I left the pit to grab a beer just in time to avoid the mandatory fight that seems to break out at every Dayglo's show. As well, I scored a pristine show poster Featuring Jason Voorhees standing atop a pile of dead punks! And if that wasn't enough, I managed to save my drummer's new insanely expensive snare from his drunken, clumsy clutches before he could drop it again and ruin the hell out of it!

 

Normally i'm superstitious, but god damn, i may have to rethink things! :D
