Do you have paraskevidekatriaphobia?

Are you afraid of Friday the 13th? No, I don’t mean the horror flick of the 80s (Did you know Kevin Bacon was in it?) although I remember being pretty frightened when I saw it at the drive-in theater. Maybe you don’t have paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) but simply triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) - if you have either one, I’m sorry if I’m aggravating your phobia.

I’ve never had anything bad happen on a Friday the 13th, have you? In fact, the only Friday-the-13th memory I have is finding out I was pregnant with my first child September 13th, 1985. What’s your Friday-the-13th memory?

  1. My Rehersal Dinner before my wedding was on a Friday the 13th, but nothing bad really happened at it. It was pretty fun.

  2. I can't think of any Friday the 13th angst or anxiety...

  3. Well I have food poisoning but that technically started on the 12th so I guess it isn't a Friday 13th curse!
