12 is the symbol of "completion" as in "the best days of your life are now done". See what happens when you turn 13? See the point?

Religions have considered 12 be something special for the same reason. 12 "Apostles", 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 postulates of Marxism, and so on. Everything important has to come in twelves. Like a dozen eggs. And "Cheaper by the Dozen" in terms of the perfect family.

Except I wanted 14, and my wife wanted 16, and we got the difference.
 

11 is a symbol of crisis. . . .. just go to Coast to Coast any day. . . . er. . . . . night. . . . it's eleven somethings, they'll have their recurrent numerologist lady on to try to talk the people through it. 11-11-11 was supposed to be the end of the world or something. Problem is, it wasn't 11-11-11 on either the Mayan or Chinese calendar, and everybody knows those are the calendars the astrologers should use instead.
