    I wonder if non-Christian people do not mind living in 13th floors. That superstition of number 13 being unlucky is mostly believed by Christians.

      Well it spreads to those around them. It becomes part of the culture even if it means nothing to others.

      More like westerns, the superstition started out in Mesopotamia.

      Yes, but then they avoid “their” unlucky numbers. Like 4 in Japan.

      Weirdly, the boss was very Christian. I guess he valued money over his beliefs, and the superstitions of others?

      In Vancouver the buildings don’t have 4th, 13th, 14th, or 24th floors. So it goes from 12th floor to 15th floor.

      I don’t remember what the number was, but O had a guy ask me at work for a different sandbox server because the number was unlucky in his country or something. So like Dev06 was a no go.
