Sorry, I don't ever remember anyone saying anything about Friday the 12th for example, or Monday the 3rd. Friday the 13th is the only one the superstitious folk talk/joke about. The US does not have many addresses that end in 13, or 13th floors in skyscrapers. Well, they are there, but are not numbered as 13. Other cultures have their unlucky numbers. I have seen this fear of 13 cross religious boundaries in the US. Though Finland is largely Lutheran, there is no fear of the number 13. It's just another number.
