Businesses lose $700 MILLION every Friday the 13th due to people's superstitions!

The 13th is considered the unluckiest number out there, almost the exact opposite of lucky number 7.

Hotels don't have a floor labelled '13' because of people's superstitions. But the illogical fear of Friday the 13th is harnless, right? Being scared of a date on a calendar can't possibly have a negative impact on the world - right?

Wrong. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute claims that between $700 - $800 Million are lost every Friday the 13th because people are afraid to conduct business, travel, and purchase major items from retailers!

Other thanthe slasher Jason murders seemingly innocent people in the horror movies, Friday the 13th, you have nothing to fear on that day! Unless of course, you are a terribly unlucky person.
