11:11am

11:11, thought to be lucky to see (but really... with the same chance of seeing any other time). Others just find it freakin annoying that they always notice the clock at that time. Some others (furthermore) think that it is the symbol of some kind of angels inbetween life and the afterlife (how exactly does that work).

Either way, it would seem that 11:11 is held in a higher (or at least a more noticable) regard than other times. I've always been told that it's lucky and you should make a wish whenever you spot it on the clock. And by clock i mean digital clock. What other kind of clock is there. Jks. But really, did all this supersition start when someone thought it looked kind of funny when they saw it on their first digital watch in the 1970s.

Really as if it happened in the times of the analog clocks. Who looks at their analog clock and think "hey, would you look at that, it's 11 past 11. Probably not.

And also is it still lucky if you spot the 11:11 on the clock, but the clock is 10 minutes fast. So really it is 11:01, so you'd think, no it's not really lucky. But when the time is actually 11:11, you look at the clock again, but you don't think "sweeeeeet, it's 11:21 on the clock, time to make a wish!!!!" But it was argued that it's lucky only to see the 11:11 on the clock, not that you happen to look at the clock at that time. If anything it should be even luckier as it's rarer on a fast clock to see the 11:11 due to the ever so slightly shorter minute making it fast.

Lucky or not, there's a good chance that you wouldn't stop noticing it when you see it. Oh the asthetically pleasing numbers, gets me everytime.
