History of Blame Someone Else Day

Occured on the first Friday of the 13th of each year, Blame Someone Else Day is the day when anything goes wrong can be blamed on someone else. It is believed that the day began after Anne Moeller's alarm clock in Clio, Michigan, did not go off on the morning of the first Friday, August 13, 1982, which is August 13. This let her to be late in doing some necessary work for the day, she decided to blame someone else for her tardiness, and she chose to put the blame around various people.

When things can go wrong and is associated with superstition, making it the perfect day to blame any problem on someone else. Its connection to superstition can be traced back to at least three things. First, in the Bible, there were 13 guests at the Last Supper, including Jesus and his 12 apostles. One of the guests was Judas, who continued to betray Jesus that same night. Thus, having 13 guests at a table became superstitious, and then that number began to be considered bad luck. Also, Jesus was crucified on a Friday, which makes people superstitious about Fridays.

The second reason of Friday the 13th. In it, the trickster Loki tricked the blind god Höðr into killing his brother Balder with a dart of mistletoe. Legend has it that death took place during a dinner for the 12 gods, and Loki - the 13th god - came and interrupted the meal.

A third reason is runmored that Thomas Lawson's novel Friday, the Thirteen was published in 1907. It is rumored that a stockbroker chose Friday the 13th to manipulate the stock market to bring down Wall Street. The book causes superstition among stockbrokers whenever Friday the 13th arrives, and it helps to popularize the idea that Friday the 13th means something bad will happen. However, if there is something bad happens today, it is no need to blame, because it's Blame Someone Else Day!
