Happy Friday the 13th! The fear of Friday the 13th is called Friggatriskaidekaphobia. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, estimates 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day making it the most feared day and date in history. According to National Geographic News, in the US, an estimated $800 to $900 million is lost in business on this day. In 2008, the Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) stated, "fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home." The next Friday the 13 this year, will fall in Dec. Be safe and have a great weekend! :-)
