In the states it's quite common to number the floors of a building by avoiding the number 13. I think this is pure madness. 10, 11, 12, 14, 15... All of that because of a fantasy book where people had supper and they happen to be 13 at the table. Edit: Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(number)#/media/File:Many_b...

It's very far from madness to avoid being a seller who ends up with lesser valued property irrespective of the origins of a myth.
