Not to be that annoying person. But it's how our brains operate to look for patterns or repeatability. It's not that you were magically catching the clock at 4:04 all the time. You just don't remember when you looked at 3:10 on multiple days of the week because it wasn't meaningful.

It's like if you notice your friend has a new car. You suddenly start noticing other people driving that car in the exact same color. Like, suddenly everyone bought that car! It's just your brain looking for meaning.

Ok. Sorry. I got my autism comment out. I'll be gone.

I got a notification of this response and unfortunately it could have been multiple comments I left recently. Need to go outside. Thanks.
