As a non sufferer of
triskaidekaphobia, the number
thirteen doesn't bother me at all. I find it rather amusing that
people change their
house number to 11A or 15A, that some streets skip thirteen as a number altogether or that some
buildings are without a thirteenth floor. Though the number four is feared in
Chinese culture, people of eccentric persuasion are said to be at 'thirteen o'clock' which is rather fun. The Reception Cell at the former
Maitland Jail is numbered thirteen, and I doubt fun was ever an option. 666 seems more apt.
