Curse of 39

In some parts of Afghanistan, the curse of 39 is the belief that the number 39 is a badge of shame for its purported link with prostitution. People have reported being mocked for having a phone number or vehicle registration plate that includes the number, with such cars also proving hard to sell.

Fear of the number can be referred to as triakontenneaphobia.
