Fear of a number

Is anyone else here scared of a certain number. That number just annoys you, threatens you, wants to get into your life and mess around. Well what is it then?
For me, it is 6! We must eliminate it from existence! If I built a hotel, there would be no floor 6 or room __6. 6 is evil and wants to take over our life. Well it sort of has: 60 minutes, 60 seconds 2x6 months in a year. By the way, June which is the sixth month is my least favorite month. I like May. :) So anyone else hate a number...like say 6!
pi
WHERE DOES IT END FOR GOD'S SAKE? WHERE?
pi...
Anything that doesn't end at some point inspires some form of intrinsic fear within me. Everything must come to an end since it's unfair for things to live on while I don't... ;)

For me, it is 6!
6 is the first perfect number, and thus it is awesome.
And to everyone that has said and will say pi, it is actually an awesome number as well. And if your only reason is that it doesn't end... Well I hate to break it to you, but it's not the only number like that. In fact, there are "more" numbers that don't end than those that do.
For my least favorite number, I'd say something in the 50's. 56, for example, is just a stupid number. There's nothing exciting about it.
112,358.
It's not that I'm afraid of it, it just pisses me off to no end.

Oh yes, 6 is also evil because it thinks it is so perfect and special. IT IS NOT! IT IS EVIL!

6 doesn't "think" it's perfect. It just is. The sum of its divisors are equal to the number, which is very, very rare.
And 112358 is a pretty awesome number. Or even 11235813213455. The Fibonacci sequence is great :D

I don't fear that number, I just hate it.
666...now THAT'S a number to fear!

For me it's a time. 11:11. AM or PM doesn't matter. It seems to be the most common time I see when I actually bother to look at the clock and I always get a chill whenever I see it.
I'm fairly certain it's the time of my death. :(
