    So, are you superstitious about bad luck happening to you today? You are not alone because plenty of people fear Friday the 13th.
    I have to admit that I am cautious about Friday the 13th and I can't wait for the day to be over with. I know, it's a silly superstition but I stay away from summer camps and won't drop a mirror today. :smile:

    Your opinion about Friday the 13th?

    I don't. But it has still been a (*)(*)(*)(*)ty day at work. I am torn between two cultures. Protestants in northern Europe see Friday the 13th as a day of bad luck while Italians see Friday the 17th as a day of bad luck. Guess I am supposed to have the double of everyone else:alcoholic:

    I'm generally not superstitious, but I have to say I'm a little more cautious on Friday the 13th --- is that a contradiction? Maybe....

    No, not concerned in the slightest, purely a marketing exercise that anyone thinks anything of it.

    I am of the school that what is bad luck to one person, used to be good luck to other people but then the people who did not like the people who saw it as good luck decided to start calling it bad luck--like blacks cats, crows, etc. Either way, no I am not superstitious about it.

    I was born on Friday the 13th so it's a very lucky day for me, and all of you of course :)
