Advent Calendar Day 13

DAY 13: Triskaidekaphobia!

That is -- the irrational fear of the number 13! Do you jump the 13th step? Or maybe avoid flying on Friday the 13th? If you don't have any 13 related superstitions feel free to share any others. Broken mirrors, ladders, black cats, not washing your socks on game day, etc!

For answering this you can immediately take one choice card numbered 13 and you'll get one random special! This post will be open until December 31st like the rest of the advent posts!

Truthfully, my 2013 was pretty horrible on average and seems to be ending on a real bad note. I have to admit that this makes me sort of suspicious of it. I've noticed that it was a pretty bad year for lots of people I know. I'm not sure if we should blame the 13 for that...but wow am I glad it's over.

But that said, I'm not overly superstitious, but I do easily hit a certain point where it's hard to believe things are a coincidence (when a bunch of bad things happen all at once). I would consider that a kind of superstitious!

I am wary of traveling on holidays for what I think is partially superstitious reasons and partially practicality. It gets rough when everyone is trying to go somewhere at the same time!

Taking graduate13.
