The most famous is probably friday the thirteenth, but setting that aside, what other days in general (regardless of specific date) do you hold some superstitions about?

I never could get the hang of Thursdays

Same. Thursdays always sneak up on me and then I have to finish a ton of crap that i don't want to be dealing with on Friday.

Don't touch production on Friday afternoon.

Read only Friday or documentation Friday?

I'm not superstitious. It's bad luck.

Kevin will ask for a change to production on Friday afternoon.

Only car accident I've been in was on Friday 13th. It was minor damage and I don't think it's reason to be superstitious.

I never push updates on a Friday because I don't want to work weekends if something goes wrong.

For a long time I felt that caffeine just didn't work the same for me on Fridays, and actually made me sleepier on those days.

I never had a thing about Friday the 13th until I broke my ankle off on Friday the 13th in 2018. Not that I'm superstitious, it just got stuck in there and now I get a little heebie jeebie thinking about it cause I'm scared it will happen to my right ankle next.
