Here's the thing: While most superstitions are harmless, some are not. Alex Andreichuk, a travel adviser, has seen some that can interfere with a trip in a significant way. For example, some of his clients refuse a room on the 13th floor because they think it's bad luck. In fact, many hotels don't even have a 13th floor because of widespread triskaidekaphobia.
