    It is called triskaidekaphobia. It is all silly superstition.

    Yes, it normal. It's a phobia, not that strange.

    Are you possibly south east Asian? It's a common superstition there just as terater said. Matter of fact, if you rotate "13" to the right, it's actually the word for ghost (ผี) in Thai.

        I gotta give you a paws up on that one! I was born on the 14th of November and I loved being a 14 year old. I really love that number but I can't hate the number 13 because my Siamese cat was born on the 13th of February.

    That has become a serious phobia to even have hotels not have a thirteenth floor. The elevator(if it has one) wont even show thirteen, it could have one through fifteen and not show thirteen.
