Friday the 13th: which people and countries are afraid of the mystical date, and who is looking forward to

One and the same event or phenomenon can have a completely opposite meaning for residents of different states. The same fate befell the well-known combination - Friday the 13th. Somewhere they are impatiently awaiting the coming of this date, and somewhere they want it to pass sooner.

Superstitious countries

America leads the top superstitious countries. In addition to the cult horror movie Friday the 13th, which we owe to the United States, many peoples are beginning to adopt the famous American fear of being on the 13th floor of a building, in the 13th hotel room, or, God forbid, boarding through Gate 13.

In France, they still dislike this day because of the famous massacre of the Templars. According to historical documents, it was on this day that King Philip IV arrested members of the Knights Templar, who were later executed on charges of spreading heresy.

In England, they are wary of this mystical day and try to leave the house less often, since, according to British scientists who have analyzed the statistics of road accidents, on Friday the 13th the number of accidents increases sharply.

Airline workers

Many different superstitions are common among aviation workers.

Many airlines offer their customers to buy a ticket with a 10% discount on the day of departure, but if the trip is scheduled for Friday the 13th, you can safely count on a 20-30% discount.

Hackers

Known for their original sense of humor, hackers love to plan their attacks on this mystical date.

However, there are still users who prefer not to turn on the computer at all on Friday the 13th.

Sailors

Black Friday is considered a particularly gloomy day for sailors.

According to a famous legend, the government, in an attempt to reason with the sea wolves, decided to conduct an experiment.

They built a ship, giving it the name "Her Majesty Friday", after which they took a certain man with the surname Friday as captain, and appointed a departure from the port on the 13th, which, accordingly, fell on the same day of the week. Needless to say, no one else saw the ship or its crew after that.

Car enthusiasts

Despite the fact that most superstitious drivers are most vigilant and careful every Friday the 13th, and therefore, the chance of getting into an accident is not that high, accidents do occur. Therefore, there are many car owners who avoid driving on this day.

Although there are those who argue that this is the perfect time to meet a cute witch on the road.

Doctors

Among doctors, superstitious people can be found much more often than in any other profession, although most of them carefully hide this. Therefore, "Damn" Friday is never designated as the day of major operations.

Even the most experienced surgeons do not dare to joke with fate, knowing full well that luck plays an important role in the treatment of people.
