Today's Irk: "The 13th Floor"

A.K.A. That really stupid superstition likely conjured up by some waspy old cat lady

Irk Factor: 2/5

This one is almost as funny as it is stupid. I'm sure you have noticed that most buildings over 12 stories seem to "leave out" the 13th floor for stuperstitious (no, I didn't spell superstitious wrong) reasons. Apparantly, the 13th floor would be bad luck, although interestingly enough, most of these buildings still contain the room#666, which seems like it would be worse to me.

This really makes me wonder...Do people actually feel relieved to know they are on the "14th floor" rather than the 13th? Surprise, dipshit! You're still on the 13th floor, except now you're in blatant denial. From what I hear, denial is what kills you.

It really floors me (pun intended) that some paranoid bastard actually suggested leaving out the number 13 in the elevators, but what absolutely blows my fucking mind is that someone else took them seriously!

If I ever own a skyscraper, I WILL include the 13th floor. Anyone who complains about their floor being unlucky will be escorted to the 7th floor and shot. But they'll be fine, becuase the 7th floor is lucky, right?

That's ridiculous.
But that's just my opinion.
