    It's called looking for it.

    The number 1 comes before the number 3 quite often in number sequences and almost every street and block of flats is going to have house 13.

    If you had the same obsession with the number 8 you'd see that everywhere.

    I see pie everywhere

    Random.

    Yes, it feels weird.

    You know, when I was pregnant, everywhere I went there were pregnant women. Everyday that I was out and about, I saw at LEAST one pregnant woman.

    Now, with my children grown and gone, I can't remember the last time I saw a pregnant woman.

    It's not possible that everyone has just stopped having babies.

    For some reason, your unconscious has latched onto "13" and is now noticing it. Just like me and pregnant women.

    Yes, weird.

    Even more than that .. it is ultimately very amusing when it happens to us. Or at least, it SHOULD be amusing.

    Nope. In some cultures the number 13 is lucky, but you're just suffering from confirmation bias.

    A guy is walking along a large, solid wooden fence, and from the other side he hears a group of people chanting, "13, 13, 13,..." he finally come up to tha knot hole in the fence and looks through it: only to get poked in the eye. as he is walking away he hears the chanting: "14, 14, 14,..."

    i have a friend who always sees the number 265 or 2653, especially in license plates. I always ask him, how many license plates did you see today that did NOT have that number in them? And he can never answer that question. As someone else said, confirmation bias, nothing more.

    time to find out. Go buy a lottery ticket with the number 13 repeated over and over.

    then you will know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

    Because you're looking for it.

    Start looking for the number 42 and you'll see that number everywhere.

    As a human you are naturally trying to connect things and convince yourself that there is meaning to it.

    Its just anumber, Don't make it something that it's not.

  • and I keep finding myself looking at a clock at 12:42, since middle school in fact, my brain just does it subconsciously I bet, same as yours, you are looking for it subconsciously.
