Exactly what is happening with planes. I'm still astonished every time I get into one and see the missing row 13. It's so ridiculous...

[Krasnol]

Especially if you are superstitious and sit in row 14, you must know that this is actually row 13 undercover!

[gerbilly]

Don't forget to also avoid row 12 just to be sure!

They could have counted the seats from zero, but labelled them from 1.

Most planes I’ve noticed start at like row 4

They should compensate by having two row 8s, row 8.8 and row 8.88 to keep the Chinese happy.

Some buildings don't have any floors labeled with a 4 because it is unlucky in China.

In the future we might have array libraries that provide arrays that don't have the 4th element.

That's preposterous, they should just throw an UnluckyIndexAccessException depending on the host's locale.

But only after the software is in production, at some random time.
