There are dos and don'ts on Friday the 13th, but not everyone knows.

Westerners believe that Friday is the worst day of the week and the 13th is the worst day of the month. And when these two things combine, it becomes a super disaster day.

That's why many people around the world have gradually developed a "default" fear called Friday the 13th, avoiding many things to avoid bad luck.

Westerners believe that Friday the 13th is a day of great disaster and bad luck, so there are many taboos.

No haircuts

According to Western beliefs, cutting hair is unlucky, so it should be limited, especially on Friday the 13th. Because this bad luck also has a bad influence on family members. However, some places believe that if you cut your hair (unlucky) and encounter a Friday the 13th, it will bring good luck.

Start work

On this day, many people believe that it is absolutely not advisable to start enrolling in school or doing anything similar because it will be unlucky.

Securities brokerage and investment

In his novel “Friday the 13th,” author Thomas W. Lawson wrote that some unscrupulous stockbrokers brought down Wall Street by exploiting the superstition of this unluckiest day. From then on, stockbrokers did not dare to trade stocks on this particularly unlucky day of the year.

Change the position of the bed

Many people believe that changing the position of the bed on Friday the 13th will cause the sleeper to have terrible nightmares.

Do not go by boat

Westerners are being influenced by a true story that happened in England on Friday the 13th. Specifically, the British government wanted people not to be haunted by Friday the 13th so they created a ship called HMS Friday. However, this ship never returned.

Some things to do

Although there are many taboos on this "dark" day, people still pass on to each other some things to do on Friday the 13th.

Besides Halloween, Friday the 13th is also a day of fear for people in Western countries. So why don't you watch all the horror movies to scare yourself a little on this day?

If you don't want to stay home alone, you can also go camping with friends and tell each other ghost stories.

Today you should throw a big party and invite your friends or scare people a little for fun.
