Paraskavedekatriaphobia

Friday the 13th, known to 99% of the Earth's population as a day of bad luck. A day of [insert air quotes] "un-coincidental" events that throw people into a spiral of paranoia that prevent them from doing their everyday routine and locking themselves in a padded room. A day where spirits, ghosts, and ghouls roam the Earth so freely, tormenting the living. Did I miss anything? No? Good.

Anywho...
The number thirteen and Friday have both been dubbed bad luck, so putting the two together is naturally, a double whammy. We all know there is an ungodly list of reasons as to why 13 is "unlucky," and Friday has been doomed unlucky because it is said Jesus was crucified on a Friday. The End. In my opinion, Friday the 13th is not a day of bad luck, but a highly glorified superstition. In all actuality (well my reality), Friday the 13th gives people the excuse to be the most neurotic, insanely psychotic, asshole, sons-of-bitches ever.

Hera are just a few, minor examples of the "characters" I've seen today:
1. Those dressed completely in chains and a fishnet body suit. (Managing to cover the wee-wee and the ta-ta's)
2. Those who are obviously obese, thinking they are 100lbs, wearing see-through outfits that show off back-cleavage.
3. Those that honestly believe it is my fault that we ran out of Wave menthol 100 cigarettes and threatened to sue...
4. Those carrying around manikin heads and moving them along to the beat of his stereo that is duct taped around his waist.

I have the right to motion a change for the definition of Friday the 13th. Instead it being a day of bad luck, it should be a day where people's IQ drop at least half of what it normally is.

P.S.

paraskavedekatriaphobia
The fear of Friday the 13th.
Derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (meaning Friday), and dekatreís (meaning thirteen), attached to phobía (meaning fear).
