Triscadecaphobia ... Fear of 13 ... And it's Friday!
by Oracle » Thu Jun 12, 2008 11:58 pm
Triscadecaphobia is the fear of the number 13. Many believe Friday the 13th is an especially unlucky day.

I guess I suffer, like many on the forum, from the condition megaliturkiaphobia but given the real losses and suffering of the past, and indeed present, this has to be a pretty rational fear.

i believe the hispanic community believes that Tuesday the 13th is bad luck.
as for me, i am afraid of the dark and big ugly bugs.
i used to be afraid of snakes, but i just learned that i am so over that now. i think it was the result of my lung surgery.

Dear GR
I have to say that was one of the funniest posts I have seen here. Thank you too, for my phobia - I attribute it to the characteristic that you and I both share - of being over modest
