"Would you think it weird if I refused to travel on Sundays that fall on the
22nd day of the month?
How about if I lobbied the homeowner association in my high-rise condo to skip
the 22nd floor, jumping from the 21st to 23rd?
It’s highly unusual to fear 22 – so, yes, it would be appropriate to see me as
a bit odd. But what if, in just my country alone, more than 40 million people
shared the same baseless aversion?
That’s how many Americans admit it would bother them to stay on one particular
floor in high-rise hotels: the 13th."
