What is the deal with the number 13???

I rode the elevator down and like all awkward elevator rides I stared straight ahead and noticed there was no floor 13. WHAT IS THE FRIGGIN' DEAL WITH THIS! Do people really not buy/rent on floor 13? Technically floor 14 IS on floor 13. Are we really fooling ourselves into thinking floor 13 doesn't exist? Are we so stupid and supersticious that we really wouldn't want to live on a floor that has an elevator button for 13? Argh!!

And why do people feel they MUST push a button when first walking into an elevator? If floor 1 is lit up, just stand back and relax. Don't push it again. YOU FOOLS!!

Happy Friday :)
