House No. 13 - would it bother you?

Out road has no number 13 ! We are 11 next door is 15 superstitious builder back in the 60s

It should only worry someone without education or common sense or born 300 years ago.

Our last house was no 13. We were very happy there, and both my babies came home to it when they were born. It never bothered me in the slightest.

It wouldn’t worry me. Since the Inside No. 9 series began, a few people have commented on our number. Nothing grisly’s happened here yet though.

I'm not superstitious usually.
Our house number is 103. Not much has gone right for last 35 years and I often wonder?

Hey! I used to live at 103 too😃
In fact have lived in a few houses with a 3 in the number but not 13.One house should have been 13 but was numbered 15 instead, so a superstitious builder.
No, it wouldn’t bother me at all.

In my road there is no 13, but there is a 12A.
I doesn’t bother me, but might be harder to sell.

I had wondered why DD's house is 15 and next door is 11. Now I know why.

I wouldn't be worried by that.

However there isn't a flat no 13 in my mum's block of flats so maybe it was a 70's 'thing'.

Yes I know it's ridiculous Callistemon bad luck could occur on any date, absolutely no logic to that superstition whatsoever, but as far as flying is concerned I'm completely irrational. I still say Hail Mary on take off, no help whatsoever in an emergency, as one of my friends said when we were travelling together many years ago, "when your number's up that's it!" Friday the 13th or not.

Most airlines don't have a Row 13 now, that one did years ago and I think of Lucky 13 now!

It wouldn’t bother me, our DS and his family live in a number 13 house doesn’t bother him either

Not at all.

I'm not sure it would bother me in the context of a house number, Such a ridiculous premise I know, but Friday 13th does resonate depending on what I'm planning, I'd never fly on Friday 13th for example, outside of that nonsense superstition, I tend to regard it as just another number

I flew from America on Friday 13th and in row 13 - it did seem a bit unnerving but was a very good flight and I overcame any superstition about 13 after that.

Chocolatelovinggran Thank you.

AAGA4 - yes, that is the origin of the superstition.

We lived at number 13 ,but only for 18 months,we moved quickly because we more than doubled the price in that time and swapped our 2 bedroom flat for a 3 bed detached chalet bungalow .So 13 was definately lucky in our case ,we loved our 18 months there but it was too good an opportunity to pass by

Never thought about it tbh but nothing much bothers me so I can't imagine living at no.13 would either.

I was born on the 13th (not a Friday) so it wouldn't bother me. At a past new build house the houses were numbered 1-13, then 14-19 because in their experience the builders said that many people were superstitious about it. It was easier for them to leave the number out.

I'm not superstitious, so I don't think it would bother me. My son and his then wife did live in a No 13 before everything went pear-shaped, but that was all down to his wife and would have probably happened no matter where they were living. On the other hand, I do know quite a few people who do seem to have an issue with the No 13 though. One actually refused to get on a flight to Spain one year because they'd allocated her a seat in row 13!

Our first house was in a row of (then) modern town houses. There was no number 13. The numbers went 10 11 (ours) 12 14 15. We though it was very funny, but I suppose the architects/builders knew a number 13 would be hard to sell.

No, it wouldn’t bother me at all.

There is a No 13 in our road, occupied by the neighbour from hell. The rest of our neighbours are really lovely!

My friend lived in a No 13. She had a very unhappy marriage.

as a child, we lived opposite house number 13.
one day the lady there was cleaning her front step.
i was speaking to her. i looked at the black number 13 on the dark green door, and idly asked if she minded.
she looked up at it and smiled saying it had not done her any harm.
she told me she was happy as it was her birthday, and she'd thought she was 62, but in fact was only 61.
she was a good woman and i became very fond of her. over a short time. as she died less than a year later.
and i wished i had not mentioned the number. still do.

Was the origin of this superstition that there were 13 people at the last supper?
