According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed.
Well, I didn't even know there was a Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute and here in North Carolina no less! And if you can pronounce Paraskavedekatriaphobia, you have nothing to worry about anyway.
