Friday the 13th is considered unlucky by millions of people worldwide (Credit: Jlloa/CCO/Pixbay)

For non-believers, this year's second — and final — Friday the 13th is just the start of a weekend. However, for the estimated twenty million people in the US, and scores more worldwide, that suffer from "friggatriskaidekaphobia," or "paraskevidekatriaphobia," November 13, 2020, will be fraught with bad luck. Though some of the fear can be blamed on the Friday the 13th movie franchise, the day's bad reputation began long before the film’s hockey-masked villain, Jason Voorhees, made an appearance.

            1) I want a phone so bad. 2) I watch WAY too many horror movies. I get it from my mom. I started when I was, like, 6.

                              Huh. Nothing bad ever happened to me on Friday the 13. Who else doesn't believe in Friday the 13? Follow me if you don't.
