Are you a triskaidekaphobe?

We aren’t…neither is Taylor Swift…in fact, it’s her lucky number!

Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13…and it’s also a Friday!

Don’t worry, though…today is the only Friday the 13th of the year.

Should you be wary…or is it just another day?

A new YouGov poll found one in five of us DO believe it’s an unlucky day.

How about:

• Walking under a ladder?  21% of us think it causes bad luck
• Stepping on a crack?  12%
• Breaking a mirror?  21% (Dave broke a wine glass today! 🍷😱)
• Black cats?  15%
• Seeing an owl?  10%
• Opening an umbrella indoors?  19%
• The number 6-6-6?  21%
• Being on the 13th floor of a building?  Ironically, 13%!
• Passing a cemetery without holding your breath?  8% (and another 6% say the same about tunnels!)

So what brings you good luck?

The survey also asked about things that bring GOOD luck.  Here are ten lucky things we’re superstitious about . . .

• Knocking on wood
• Throwing salt over your shoulder
• Finding a penny heads up
• Saying “bless you” when someone sneezes
• Crossing your fingers
• Ladybugs
• Seeing a shooting star
• Finding a four-leaf clover
• Seeing a rainbow
• Making a wish at 11:11
• Getting the big half of a wishbone

One in three of us have some sort of lucky charm…what’s yours?
