House No. 13 - would it bother you?

It would not bother me at all. I was married on Friday 13th, flew on my 13th flight and many good things followed on 13th of months over the years!

It would bother me yes.
I wouldn’t buy a number 13 house.

When we moved to this house 7 years ago, next door lived a very active 92 year old lady - at number 13. She moved to be nearer her son. A lovely family of 4 moved in, extended the house and seem very happy there. No concerns there!

Wouldn’t bother me at all - silly superstition. Think how many people who are born on the 13th !

Wouldn't bother me whatsoever. To me its just a number... 😃

Not in the least, but late DH wouldn't contemplate it even if it was perfect.

My OH 's birthday was Friday 13th. I have had him nearly 60 years ,so can't be all that bad.
Some relations whose father built the street had their house numbered with an A to be able to miss out 13.

I am not in the least superstitious. I was born and lived in a number 13 for 25 years, lived in a number 13, a number 12 and a number 1 now I'm in a number 14. It was not a choice it was how it was. Why would a house number make any difference to anything apart from a address.

My parents, two brothers and me all born 13th and my two daughters born 26th (double 13!) We've not had particularly happy lives.

Our first house, after two years in a tiny flat, was number 13. We were very happy there and our children were born in the nearby maternity hospital. We didn't even think about it possibly being unlucky.

Wouldn’t bother me either.

There is no No 13 in my road. The architect/builder decided against it presumably, so maybe one of them was superstitious.

Doesn’t that superstition come from the Last Supper when Jesus was betrayed by Judas, the 13th apostle at the table? What that has to do with house numbers I’m not sure.

I never used to be particularly superstitious but years ago, when I was a registered childminder, I had just started looking after two little children. Only had them a week, when their father literally dropped down dead at work - he just died there and then, not at the hospital. He was only 29 years old and it was Friday 13th - so now I am wary of that date.

I'm not sure about house no 13. It has never cropped up in my life so I don't know what I'd think.

When the row of houses where I live was built they left out no.13 . So it goes 9,11,15,17 on my side of the road

Our house should be 13 but the house builders (it was a new build) labelled it as no 15. I'm not bothered about it one way or the other!

My husband was born on Friday the 13th so 13 is a lucky number for me

It would not bother me. I was born on 13th, so no, it would not be an issue......

I used to live on the 13th floor, never bothered me

Me too yogitree, married on Friday 13th. I have never been superstitious.

It hasn't bothered me for a quarter of a century now!

Have been in several hotels/office buildings abroad with no floor no. 13 and in the China no floor no.4 which is also considered unlucky.

I’ve been here at no 13 for nearly 30 years. I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

I’ve seen houses labelled 12A rather than 13.

My Mum lived in a retirement flat numbered 12A. I don't know who they thought they were kidding!

Our 1920s house was 11A when my parents bought it in 1955. They changed it to 13 at once. My brother and I spent a happy childhood there. The house was compulsorily purchased by the Ministry of Transport in 1967 to make way for the proposed extension of the M23, which never went ahead. Sadly by that time, my Mum was stricken with cancer (aged 44) and died shortly after. So, who knows……. I’m not superstitious, the house is still there with many more built around it!
