Today is the most superstitious days of the year. It has been for centuries. If your wondering if i am a believer of this superstition. Then the answer is yes.
There’s no real reason why i am bothered by it. I just am. It’s not like anything bad ever happened to me on a Friday the 13th (Paraskevidekatriaphobia ). Maybe it was too many films as i was growing up, or maybe it’s all the hype about this special day on the news and in the papers. Hell i dunno. I just know i don’t like it.
One thing is for sure, the statistics show that more people have car accidents on Friday the 13th and more people are admitted to hospital for general accidents, not to mention flights not taken by travellers for fear of the unknown, as well as thousands of people taking time off of work. It happens more now on this day than any other time of the year.(I saw it on the morning tv today)
But…. are all these accidents actually caused by people worrying about nothing? Is the very thought of a superstition making people less cautious? It could well be.
So what are your plans for today? Lock yourself in a cupboard with a bucket and pray the world keeps on spinning? Go about your usual day and not really care?
I’m just gunna have a normal day of sitting at home and wash the pots. So here’s to all of you having a safe and great day, and here’s to hoping i don’t have a terrible fall whilst washing up!
