One of very common superstitions is number 13. Many people have said that this number is
very unlucky and in some countries people skip this number at all. It is very common for people
not to use or see the number 13 for example: an elevator that goes up to 15 will be without the
13th floor because people will skip it. I do not believe in that myth because 13 is a pretty lucky
number for me and bad luck can happen only because it’s life and nothing will be perfect.
