Friday is a happy day for most people. Marking an end to the work week, people look forward to a relaxing and fun-filled weekend. This should be your feeling today too, unless you have friggatriskaidekaphobia. It is the term used to describe those who have an irrational fear of Friday when it falls on a particular date. Any guesses which date? Of course, the 13th day of the month. If you have this phobia, it is best for you to stay away from social media, especially Twitter as people are taking to the micro-blogging site to share different posts related to the day, mostly the scary ones. However, some are also taking a route of hilarity while tweeting.
