It isn't *every building* but it actually is pretty common for floor numbers to go from 12 to 14. Technically, the 14th floor is really just floor 13 with a different name, but we pretend not to realize. Personally, I think it's a dumb superstition, but you'd be surprised what can bother people. I used to work as a cashier, and sometimes if somebody's total was $6.66, they would be kind of upset and ask me to change something. >>806 That's the kind of kudzu I was thinking of. >>808 Thanks for that extra explanation. :) >>813 It depends on the usage. If you say Kuzu or kasu as a random word like an exclamation when you're mad, then "generic swear words" is perfectly fine. >>817 I'm with you. I don't understand people who say they would still work. I only work so I can live like I want. If I had money from some other source, I would travel first, and then buy a nice place in an area with the fastest internet I can get.

I searched on google and I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3xluPX-Q_0 It was funny, but there is no way anyone was going to understand what he meant when he kept saying "very very sky." I don't even know what that was supposed to mean. This is funny for an English speaker because it sounds like "ass food," which is why the people were confused. I assume that's not the joke in Japanese. Maybe somebody can tell me if there is more too it than just the people not understanding. >>823 I've never heard of that. I would say it's probably not true, because it seems like I would have heard something like that at least from my british friends on facebook. I could be wrong though. >>824 I have heard that too. I think there are a couple of rules that would help, that those people probably didn't follow. 1: Don't tell everyone. Be very careful about who you tell because everyone will probably beg. 2: Hire a lawyer and and accountant before you do anything else.
