Paraskavedekatriaphobia
Does anyone have this, lol... Its the fear of Friday the 13th. I heard millions of dollars are lost on this day due to people that really having it, not leaving their houses. They miss work, dont shop etc. Is this day really bad luck...I dont think so 
I personally love Friday 13th, lol...I'm weird I guess.

To be honest, I never know what the date is let alone the day.

Nah. I'm not superstitious. While I find the history of how we got those superstitions fascinating - it really is interesting - I have a hard time believing that evil luck spirits would pick a certain day or time to attack us.

my co-worker is extremely supersticious. She blames today on the fact she left her wallet at home. Not like she hasn't done that before!

Don't know if its because of the day or because of people's belief in the the day, but I can honestly say I hate working on Fri-13th cause we end up with all kinds of Chytrid Fungus calls! Usually I go to the firehouse instead where at least if I'm running messed up calls, I can do more to help! =)

I never paid much attention to it.
You make your own luck!

i always celebrate Friday the 13th! (usually with pizza or Chinese food!) just makes sense to me. 13's my lucky number and Friday marks the weekend so rock on!

I don't need a special date to have bad luck  So far my Friday the 13th has been fine, but the night is still young

Some people have a weak belief system. I know a couple that had their baby today, and they actually named him Jason. (from friday the thirteenth movies for all you slow people)
