12:34....

[bassthumpintwin]

I don't know why, but I almost ALWAYS look at the clock at this exact time. Whether it's on my phone, alarm clock, oven, microwave, computer, etc...

 

It's completely involuntary. Probably more of a coincidence than anything, but it happens almost every day.

 

Anybody else do this or something similar?

You will probably die on January 2, 2034. Or, you like bacon...one of the two, my cosmic scanner's a bit off today.

i use 24 hr time on all my digital clocks. so for me it is always. 23:45

[mrs. bleepo]

for a while when i was younger it was 7:17 for us. i had a friend that always left a message at that time. then it morphed and i saw that damn number everywhere. i still notice it a lot.

[basste]

hey, you're not the only one:

i very very often look at the clock at 11:11; and then all hours like this: 23:23, 19:19... I must be conditionned. Don't understand why but it happens really often.

11:11

[bassthumpintwin]

Interesting. Maybe I'm not that crazy....

 

 

 

 

 

 

OR AM I!??

11:34

 

seriously, I used to hate when the clock hit that time. I'd freak out and say a prayer thinking if I saw it at that time I was going to hell.

2:42

 

It's been a while, but there was a looong stretch of time when i saw that on the clock every day, probably twice

[bassthumpintwin]

Just did it again...

I'm thinking confirmation bias, in which you all remember the times when you look at your watch and see the time you remember, and forget all of the other times you look at it and see a time that means nothing to you.

[willsellout]

None for me, although i do wake up a few minutes before my alarm every morning.

[Emprov]

Every time I open this thread I see 12:34. Crap, I just saw it again!

I'm definitely not saying that I don't look at a clock multiple times a day, but it's not like I look at one every 5 minutes.

 

More like once or twice an hour, IF that.

 

And since 12:34 only happens twice/day for 2 minutes a day, there's really only a 0.07 % change that I would see it.

 

Well, assuming I only looked at my clock once a day I guess...

 

At any rate, it's still mildly perplexing, since I don't wear a watch, and therefore only check the time a few times/day.

We should start a band called 12:34. {censored}IN way too many bassists.

 

 

EDIT: Is there a band w/ more than one bassist?

[engage757]

that is {censored}in weird. for me is is always 2:58.

When I used an alarm clock, this was almost always the case for me as well.

 

Usually 5 or 10 minutes beforehand.

I knew a guy that would walk around with miscellaneous numbers in his head. He would have to try to figure out where they would come from. It was stuff like the number of buttons on his shirt, the number of calories in a box of wheaties, random things like this. I forget the exact number he said it was, but this one time he had a number in his head and he finally figured out it was something like the square root of the product of all the numbers on the clock

11:11

 

 

I'm at work and just glanced at my clock and it said 11:11.

[isaac42]

For me, the number is 357. The time, 3:57. I used to play in a band called .357
