I have always been skeptical to the alleged unluckiness' of Friday the 13th day and of the number in general, I have never myself experienced any mishaps happening on Friday the 13th, and I have yet to meet anyone whom have actually been able to tell me a story that would prove it to be so, still fear of the number 13 or Triskaidekaphobia is one a fairly common phobias, btw the phobia for Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
On the other hand if something ever where to happen on Friday the 13th I would remember it just because of the very nature of the superstition, I have had a few accidents happen in my life on other days, but neither one of these I remember the date, or even what day of the week it was. Unless it happened on a day special to me.
I have some friends back in Norway that believed fully in the dangers of Friday the 13th, and would do whatever they could to avoid doing anything that might put them in danger, even staying away from work, and make sure they would not need to go to the store. When I think about it these were also the same that build their whole day around newspaper horoscopes, which I would put it being a bit extreme superstitious since those horoscopes in general are too generic to be of any real use.
I found it interesting when I realized that in some countries, like in the US they even removed the 13th floor out of buildings and when I realized that planes miss the 13th row, in order to avoid scaring those with the real phobia of the number. Still, in Hawaii some buildings do actually have a 13th floor.
What my friends really do for Friday the 13th is take advantage of it Since they found it they could get much cheaper tickets, on almost empty planes this day. So far they have only shared the great luck and advantages they had from this day, I would love to hear examples of 13th related accidents or mishaps though.
There is no doubt that one could have bad luck on Friday the 13th, since the mass psychology of it changes a large number of peoples behavior, and some might even end up in the very accidents they might try to avoid because they are too afraid of making mistakes. So keep yourself safe, as you should on any other day of the year.
