Members bassthumpintwin Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Svi Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassesofalessergod Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators isaac42 Posted March 9, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2010 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassthumpintwin Posted March 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 None for me, although i do wake up a few minutes before my alarm every morning. When I used an alarm clock, this was almost always the case for me as well. Usually 5 or 10 minutes beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ec437 Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
