no, not at all. I think we all have different things we deam as 'unlucky' but things are what you make it.Here's a quick excerpt regarding it
In the American society most people considered the number 13 unlucky. Therefore, things connected with 13 are too be avoided such as the 13th day of the month, especially if it is a Friday, the 13th floor, 13 dinner guests, and so on. As a contrast in Belgium it is considered a good-luck charm for women to wear the number 13. The negativity of the number 13 is predominantly thought to have been derived from the Biblical narration of the Last Super where Judas was the thirteenth apostle. However, an earlier concept stresses its relationship to 12, a good number identified with the Zodiac, which had strong positive associations in Babylonian and other early astral mythologies.

i'm not superstitious at all so the number 13 doesn't bother me. i don't understand why a number should scare someone. why are people afraid of the number 13 and not 666. i mean 666 is the devils number so what's with 13, what does that signify?

I don't think it is a bad number. But when I see it the thought of being an unlucky number does cross my mind. Like, if I'm at the grocery store and that's the lane I end up on. I shrug my shoulders and watch to see what happens. Sometimes I don't even pay attention to it.

no i dont think so, if unlucky happens we just put on such things, as we humans dont take responsibilty of their mistakes they just transfer their mistakes on cat numbers etc.
