well it was friday the 13th last friday and my friend lost his wallet on his way to a party. it contained 4,000 pesos because he just withdrew money at the time. then i also realized my bracelet is missing, which my sister gave me last christmas so it has its sentimental value. we were both so miserable that day and i guess we just blamed it on friday the 13th haha, or was it just coincidence hehe, i guess we'll never know...

The thing that happened to you and your friend is a matter of carelessness. LOL and a coincidence. Actually last friday the 13th i was on a plane but before leaving my office mates was jokingly urging me to have an insurance, but i simply smile. We have an assigned parking lot in the office and normally it has numbers, I was assigned at number 7, but everyone has to rush every early morning and park at my assigned number and the lucky 13 was always vacant, so since then i am using it, even if i am late its always open. and its lucky for me. LOL invert my name and you will see why LOL, ha ha ha ha happy posting.

I don't believe there is bad luch attached to Friday the 13th. I've had such a one fine Friday the 13th. It's a pretty relaxing day and I didn't even notice it is Friday the 13th. It is us who's making our luck and I think it is just coincidence when something bad happened to a person on Friday the 13th. For me, it was a one fine day with lots of food and happy smiles around.

I never really believed in friday the 13th or bad luck in general...I was always taught that life is about circumstances..whatever was meant to happen will happen..all I know is weird things have always happened to me on friday the 13th.

No I don’t. being an Indian, Friday 13th has no significance for me, in fact I don’t even know why a combination of Friday and 13th is considered so unlucky and evil! Last Friday was a 13th and there were other Fridays with 13th and every time I have consciously tried to see if anything bad happens to me or to anybody I know…well nothing of that sort happened and anyway, some days just go bad even if its not a Friday 13th.

Hello! Filipinos really have lot of beliefs. I believe some of it and some don't..lol. I, myself always thought that Friday the 13th is really a bad luck day. So last friday, my husband asked me to have Valentine's lunch with him that day in a Filipino restaurant which is 45 minutes away from our town I kinda hesitated and told him its not good traveling in that day. He told me, it's not true at all. Instead of thinking negatively, be an optimistic of everything. I guess he was right because when we get home, I received a mail from an important sender!!!. There were lot of good thing happened to me in that day. Friday the 13th isn't a bad day, it is just within people's luck no matter what day or date it could be.

I do believe in bad luck, but I really don't think it has anything to do with Friday the 13th. I know 13 is supposed to be an unlucky number, but it somehow likes to crop up in my life a lot, and I've never really had bad luck when associated with that number. As for Friday the 13th, it's really not that bad. I had a huge English unit exam last Friday that I didn't study for and thought I failed for certain, but turns out that I got 82%, which is pretty good considering I didn't study and went through the multiple-choice section of the exam off of my memories of what my teacher discussed with us in class. So, no bad luck there. Good luck, in fact. I think it's just a mentality thing people have when they think of Friday the 13th.

I don't believe that friday the 13th is an unlucky day just because its friday the 13th. It may be that people notice more bad things when its fri 13th, and accredit them to the date. If someone gets a flat tire on wed the 13th it just sucks, fri the 13th its bad luck. Preconceived notions can make all the difference. Also, its been proven with multiple scientific studies that collective human consciousness can have real effects on how people behave. Perhaps our collective consciousness is sabotaging us.
