Ok with Friday the 13th only days away, I thought I would try a quiz!

B: Triskadekaphobia
C: Pogonophobia

Hm, A sounds familiar, but I'm going to guess B, because "tri" means 3 and "dek" means 10. Of course, that could also be a fear of the number 30.

Obviously the answer is C, but I don't know for sure why. Doesn't it mean that someone has died or something like that?

Since I live by myself I would say A.


If I were married I may say C if I didn't know the answer to A.

I was also thinking C depending on how cute the guy on the ladder was. Otherwise, walk around it.
