Question:

asap...answer please!! building floor labeled 13???

has ANYONE ever been to a building in AMERICA that had a floor labeled 13???

Answer:

no.. does a building that has a 13th floor exists? i don't think so..
Most buildings dont have a 13th floor....really I promise!
Yes I have been in a building that has a thirteenth floor and it is actually numbered that way too!! But as noted below this is not to common..... but look at some of the other Countries that delete different numbers... pretty funny: American and Canadian buildings typically omit the thirteenth floor in their floor numbering because of common superstition surrounding this number.[citation needed] The floor numbering may either go straight from 12 to 14, or the floor may be given an alternative name such as Skyline. In some Asian countries, because the number four sounds like death in Chinese and related languages, it is sometimes skipped in hospital buildings, and some business buildings follow this convention as well.
