Do any of our QOTD family avoid doing anything in particular on a Friday the 13th ? nope. Just another day.
Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ? I remember one Friday the 13th in October when I was in junior high and it was a full moon that night.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like yours, but wasn't ? Nope.Not many cars around here that look like mine, and the few that are around are red and white and mine is dark green.
If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ? No. I've noticed that similar cars sometimes park next to or near me.

How many have prescription sunglasses ? I do! But I almost never wear them.

Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ? No
Bonus Question:
Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like yours, but wasn't ? LOL..I was going to my car after an appointment and pressed the remote "unlock" for my car. I got to the door and it was still locked. I pressed the button again....still locked. I put the key into the car door and it wouldn't budge! Now, I was getting mad! I tried again and still...nothing. I start dialing the phone to call my husband and looked up. My car was in the next space right beside the car I was trying to get into. Here I was trying to open up a car that looked EXACTLY like mine. Same color, model, make, year...everything! I felt so silly
lol where there ever any other people in said car ? Thank goodness, no.
If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ? Probably or just smile.

Is anyone in your immediate family left handed ? Not mine. My grandfather would not allow any of his children to write with their left hand. He saw it as a sign of weakness. I can't think of anybody on my side of the family who writes with their left hand. My husband has a sister that does.

Taxicab Day I once convinced an Irish taxicab driver to drive me from Dublin into Northern Ireland. I finally just started crying and he gave in. This was in the 70s when "The Troubles" were hot and heavy. I suppose I used the tears as a subterfuge. Shame on me but we did make it back to Dublin alive.
