Today is Friday the 13th . For many superstitious people out there it is the day to avoid, the day to stay indoors and not go out no matter what. The fear of Friday the 13th has been named friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia (even though spell check doesn’t agree) and there are an estimated 17-21 million people who are affected by this in the United States. People do not travel or conduct business on this day due to many of the superstitions that are believed to occur on this day. If you are one of the many friggatriskaidekaphobes or paraskevidekatraphbes then you’re going to do your best to stay away from:
- Ladders
- Black Cats
- Mirrors
- Umbrellas
- Salt
If you are superstitious you will probably change your daily routine and avoid all these things. If you’re not superstitious you should still be sure that your California Insurance is up to date because guess what, Friday the 13th occurs three times this year. If you break an expensive antique mirror, if you get freaked out and kick your neighbor’s cat out of impulse, or if , by some chance , there is a person on the top of that ladder and it falls, you’re going to be glad you have insurance. You never know what could happen on this day and you want to be protected!
