Fear of Friday the 13th is known as " Triskaidekaphobia " or " Paraskavedekatriaphobia "
According to a survey about 8 % of Americans fear Friday the 13th ! Personally it doesnt bother me, but I wont tempt fate by running under ladders, breaking mirrors or chasing black cats....does that make me a tad superstitious ?
One thing I WILL do is .... If I see a penny "heads up" I will always pick it up, hoping for "good" luck, but yes I'll always grab the "heads up" penny ... do you do that ?
So are you superstitious ? Are you more so on a Friday the 13th ?
