Well, they never put a 13th floor on a building (skips from 12 to 14), and it is a classical superstition. Thats all I can think of right now.

My family has a cuckoo clock that cuckoo'd 13 times on many occasions.

It hasn't been wound up in a very long time.

For some reason, in RPGs I often buy 13 potions, antidotes, ethers, etc. at a time

Can't say I've ever had any bad luck with any particular number. However, my 'lucky' number has always been 8.

All I've heard is that it's an unlucky number. I don't believe it, though. If shit is going to happen, it doersn't need to wait for a certain date/day.

Cross a black cat? I don't care. Step on a crack? I couldn't care less .

Superstitions have never meant anything to me, what really annoys me though is that my mother is crazy about them ("don't rock a chair while no one is sitting in it, don't open an umbrella while you're inside, etc...") .

Other than there not being a 13th floor on most buildings I haven't really haerd much else about it .

If black cats really meant bad luck, I'd have been cursed to death 10 years ago, from this cat and the other black cat she gave birth to (both are still there)

And my sister was born on a Friday 13th, nothing bad came out of it either


But other superstitions I remember:
- Walk under a ladder with an odd number of steps
- Spin a knife and it points towards you
- Break a mirror

Aww, kitty!

Black cats are cute, just like (most) other kitties

I thought it was walking under a ladder with any number of steps That and the knife one seem to make sense to me. Whoever's on the ladder could drop something, and you could accidentally stab yourself with the knife.

I've never understood that whole superstition with the black cats. I used to own one and nothing bad ever happened to anyone around here.

I don't generally believe in superstitions, most are just silly to me.

Well, I won't open an umbrella inside.

Not because of superstition or anything, but because it's just dumb.

I was waiting for the bus just this night, and I was looking into the parking lot, when I saw a black cat run towards the technology building. I tried looking for it (at a distance), but I couldn't find it.

I've actually never heard of the second one in my life. I've also never heard of the "don't rock a chair while no one is sitting in it" superstition that was mentioned, either.

My Friday the 13ths range from "somewhat good days" to "uneventful days". I don't think a particularly noteworthy event has happened in my life on Friday the 13th, nor have I really ever had bad luck involving the number 13. Or any luck either way at all, really.

1. There's no bus line 13.
2. Bus number 13 has been purposely left out either. (edit: there was one but it had an accident. soo... it's true, I guess, number 13 really gives you bad luck)

^ This.

I never had any bad luck or anything of that sort on some special day/thing.
That being said, my life always sucks no matter what day!

If black cats were really bad luck I'd be endorsing it.

I really like black cats for some reason.

And 13 seems like a fairly lucky number for me...

My lucky number always seems to be 13. It always goes right for me!

As far as modern superstitions go, I'm sure they were invented to ridicule pagans or to find "witches" in the Salem Witch Trials. Just a guess.
