I love the number 13.

I've never suffered from triskaidekaphobia - fear of the number 13. In fact, I relish seeing it, and am offended when 14 follows 12, as in many apartment buildings.

Who are they fooling ANYway?

You know when people are in an elevator, watching the numbers advance, that they'll read 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and SECRETLY insert 13 in the counting in their heads - c'mon, though most Americans find it challenging to do math of most kinds, the majority CAN count to 20.
