Are You a Friggatriskaidekaphobe?

/checks calendar, does a double, then triple take

If you are a friggatriskaidekaphobe, or someone who fears Friday the 13th, I’m afraid I have some bad news: not only is today not your day, but 2026 has not one not two but three Friday the 13ths!

I also have some good news: We had one last month and it went pretty okay. Here’s hoping the rest are as manageable!

If you’d like to know more, or aim to defang your phobia through knowledge, here’s an article that goes in-depth on this scariest of dates:

Bad News for Friggatriskaidekaphobes: 2026 Has Three Fridays the 13th

This is a tough year for people with friggatriskaidekaphobia, which is, yes, a fear of Friday the 13th. (Apologies if you have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, or a fear of long words.)

Maybe this is a good year to try to kick your fear through exposure therapy? Or you can just count down the hours until it’s over. In that case, happy 14th!
