    but yes l33tsp3@k has broken my mind also. 13:37 'its LEET o'clock!'
    anarchy online as far as I can tell was published in 2001.

    But I was hearing "1337 speak" online as far back as the late 90s.

    So no.

    3:36 in the morning.... that damn time actually haunts me literally..
    I wake up at exactly that time, at least once a week.

    Never on a clock, but almost every time I'm playing a game that number seems to creep in. It doesn't help my inflated ego at all.

    I notice 3:59 on a hand clock, because that's when High school was over for me.

    I notice 11:11 on digital number clock, because 11:11.

    I always see 11:34. The hell reference is what bothers me. I was in a pub once talking about this and, naturally, glimpsed at the clock stating 11:34. The gal I was with shrieked and said my eyes acted really weird for a second. I'm sure that part was semi-conscious, but did not help the paranoia. Also 34-11 = 23 ZOMG.

    It's always 13:37 somewhere, once an hour...

    13:37 and 22:22 are the most common for me.

    I see 13.37 very often when I check the time. It seems I'm not the only one.

    except 19 is 10+9

    It's only 1+9 in numerology.

    Fun fact: Numerology is bullshit. Math isn't. And math says 19 is 10+9.

    I used to get 23:23 on every evening a few years ago.

    Whenever I looked at my kitchen clock it was 12:31. For weeks this went on, but then I changed the batteries.

    Its like every single time I look at the clock, the number sticks out to me. I just looked as I'm posting this and its 2:36. 2 times 3? 6!

    Does anyone else notice weird things on the clock such as this, or am I just slowly losing my mind?
    Your brain has evolved to notice patterns, that is how/why humans can problem solve and dogs chase cars after eating cat poo.

    I suspect somebody has already explained this and in greater detail but I can't be bothered to read the rest of this topic.

    914 and 1138.

    914 is because in high school my first class ended at 9:14 every day. Now I see it everywhere, and not just on clocks. Confirmation bias can be a bitch sometimes.

    1138 I see ever since I heard that number is hidden in Star Wars multiple times.
