Re: Have you ever wondered why there is no 13th floor on some buildings?
Unreasoned fear of the number 13 is termed triskaidekaphobia. Due to this fear, some tall buildings have resorted to skipping the "thirteenth floor", either by numbering it "14" (though it's really still the thirteenth floor) or by designating the floor as "12a" or something similar. Similarly, some streets do not contain a house number 13. The thirteenth of a month is likewise ominous, particularly when it falls on a Friday (see Friday the 13th), a Tuesday in the Greek and Spanish-speaking world, or a Monday in Russia. Months with a Friday the 13th always begin on a Sunday.

Diri sa FGU ayala building wala 4th floor ug 13th floor. Abi nako na sayop lang ilang numero abot ana nga numbers mao diay na ag reason.
Pero naa raman tingali na sa mo tuo kay if thats the case pakuha nalang na ang number 4 ug 13 sa numbers para dili na magamit.
