Friday the 13th, do bad things really happen on this day or is it a myth?

Well my car started playing up this morning after having a lot of money spent getting it right and my new mobile phone has just packed in...I'm becoming a believer in the 13th stuff...

Never thought much of Friday 13th until today. I have a 50 mile round trip to work each morning. About two miles from work I had to stop at a roundabout. It was then I noticed the thick steam cloud coming from under the bonnet. "Oh dear" I thought, (substitute expletive)this looks a problem, I hope its nothing serious. I'll let it cool for a while before I take a look. I wonder how I'll get the car home this afternoon.

Had my first "real" pushbike stolen on Fri 13, when I was 15. Parked it outside a shop, didn't bother with the expensive horseshoe lock on it as I would only be inside 2 mins. Came back, bike (and horseshoe lock!) stolen. I still remember filling in the form and at realising the date. I'd replaced so much on that bike, it was really "mine". Gutted.
Got the insurance payout, smashed all my piggy banks, got a four hundred quid touring bike, spent a month youth hostelling round France and Germany the next summer. I still have the bike, though driving licence and long absences in funny countries means it hasn't been ridden for years.
Unlucky?

I have admit as shunty said I don't tempt fait anymore.
When I was 16 I was trying to get home a bit pissed from some sh1te club. Had to catch the last train home, but on the way to the train station I had to get a kebab
Me and a mate waited in the queue, we were starving as you would be after a few snake bite blacks (who remembers them or still drinks them own up??)
So first of all there was a bloody long queue, then some guy got a bit rowdy, but calmed down. Then the lights on the van went off (spooky). They came back on 5 mins later, then the gas ran out so the meat/elephants leg couldn't cook.
I managed to grab a kebab run to the station 10 mins walk away, as I was running over the bridge the train was pulling in. I had to jump over a 7ft wall to get to the platform. As I was coming over the doors were closing, I managed to jump down grap the doors and prise them open and jump on the train JUST with my mate.
This is why I no longer tempt fate.
Mind you could all be a coincidence

Well the 400 people that were evacuated when the largest hotel in Jersey burnt down this morning will remember Friday 13th!
The alarm was raised on the stroke of midnight just as it became Friday 13th.
Major traffic chaos this morning as the island ground to a stop as the main roads were all closed.
Lucky I was in London today
