The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.   Which makes sense.
Apparently there are approximately 17-21 million people in the United States that suffer from this fear.  
There are two things in the world of which I am scared:
1.  Having a friend make me talk to one of his or her friends that I have never met on the phone.  There are only so many things that you can say to them.  Examples include:
        a.  "Hey!" (followed by nervous laughter, which is ultimately concluded with an awkward silence)
        b.  "I've heard a lot about you".  Which will definitely be followed with the stranger saying "All goods things I hope?" And then you will fake laugh hysterically and say "oh, i don't know" in a way that suggests that you actually have heard millions of terrible things about the stranger.
     
2.  This sketch: http://mylifeofcrime.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/baby-grace-sketch.jpg.  In regards to this drawing:
        a.  Why does this toddler have such long flowing hair?  
        b.  Why does she look like a dinosaur?
        c.   Why is she wearing the same outfit that I wore the first day of classes my 2nd year of college?
