Paraskevidedkatriaphobia.

Cakers3 — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 13:46:56 GMT

Other wise known as Friggatriskaidekaphobia.

The fear of Friday the 13th-today!! Mwah ha ha ha.

Triskaidekaphobia is the overall fear of the number 13.

Yes, we know some will start posting they do not have this phobia etc. etc.

Interesting background regarding this phobia. I would post some origins but some are religious.

I love the number 13.

I remember wishing I had been born on a Friday the 13th but, alas, I was born on a Friday the 12th. Missed it by that much!

I do not have many phobias... but will forgo walking under a ladder if I can go around... and if I see a black cat ahead crossing the road... I might stop and think about it..... friday the 13th or the number 13 really does not cross my mind... unless someone brings it up...

Cool @Cakers3 information. I didn't know the name for the phobia.

I don't really have any fears about the number 13. Both my husband and sister were born on the 13th day of the month of May. My aunt always won prizes at the church picnic when she played number 13.

I even went to the doctor today, so no problemo............my next appt. is also a Friday, the 13th. LOL. So I guess I'm safe from all of that.

I have to add, doesn't that sound like Lucy from Charlie Brown comics. That's what it felt like to me. LOL

I have to say that Friday the 13th's and full moon's were not favorite shifts in the hospital. Notoriously unpleasant. No phobia, just fact.

I was born on Friday the 13th and my husband was too. Same month and year. In October. And yes, he wss a 33degree Mason.

Friday the 13th is always a lucky or just very pleasant day for me.

Once we took a last minute road trip to Gatlinburg and there was an antique car show. We stayed too late to drive home, so set out to find a motel. Dark, windy mountain roads, and every place we passed said "no vacancy." We were just about to head for home, and one vacancy sign was lit up. We went in, and the desk person said, "Sorry the only room we have left is number 13. Nobody wants it." We took it gladly and laughed really hard!

Strangely enough I find that I am freaked out by a Friday the 13th. Wish I wasn't though because I don't want a self fulfilling prophecy so I usually stay home.
