According to dictionary.com, triskaidaidekaphobia is the irrational or disproportionate fear of the number 13. It could be said that companies are superstitious and the lore only exists out of fear. Although, in the past the number 13 has been associated with evil. In Christianity, Ancient Babylon, and Norse Mythology, the number 13th appears and brings some kind of chaos, or is omitted from ancient text.
