Friday 13th a jinx?

So did you ‘survive’ Friday 13th, or do you think it’s just some old ‘superstitious clap-trap’?

I’m not particularly superstitious, however, just in case I avoid walking under ladders and make sure I’m a bit extra aware on a Friday 13th!

In another post Bones tells us about sending his keys on a bit of a ‘jolly’ and Coffeeholic pointed out what date it was!! Was this the Friday 13th jinx?? :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

As for me, I survived all day despite having a major deadline to meet and two meetings to drive to. However, last night I bit myself while eating my dinner and woke up with a throbbing mouth ulcer this morning!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

If you had a bad day, tell us all about it!!

a load of old guff. you are no more likely to have anything go wrong than any other day. i cannot believe how dim so many truck drivers are. ask the same question of doctors and teachers and see what they say.

we dont deserve to be treated any better, when there are so many ignorant wooden-headed morons attracted to the job.

Really?? The following extract is written by a doctor!!

In his research, Dr. Nayha compared the number of traffic deaths that occurred on Friday the 13th with those that occurred on other Fridays. He studied the traffic statistics for 43 Friday the 13ths …

… the risk of getting killed in a traffic accident was 63% HIGHER on Friday the 13th compared with other Fridays!

The rest of this info can be found here.*

My C+E test was at 13h00 on a Friday the 13th and I passed it with only one minor so I’m quite happy that it’s not jinxed.
