22 Times Religious Customers Went Biblical In The Store

Dear readers,

Some numbers are considered lucky. Some numbers are universally regarded as unlucky. For most of us, that extends to how we choose our lottery numbers or bets, or to how many M&Ms we eat in a session. (This editor’s lucky number is however many M&Ms are in the bag, incidentally.)

But some people take it a little further; some buildings with multiple floors skip from the twelfth straight to the fourteenth to avoid the unlucky number thirteen, and some people refuse to make a purchase that adds up to $6.66 to avoid the unlucky “mark of the Beast.”

Here is a collection of 22 stories of people who took a number from the Book of Revelations a hair too seriously.
