Yes, I see 1111, 111, 333, 444 etc in a seemingly eerie way. 1111 is dominant however, even for a few years back. I was suprised to find this page and find that others experience the same thing. However, here's a theory. Now, I don't necessarily look at the clock a lot. But perhaps we simply remember the 11:11 on the clock, the 11.11 reciept, etc, because it is in such a recognizable pattern. I don't remember all the 2:53's I've seen, it's not a repeated pattern, but 1111 is instantly recongnizable and memorable, making it seem like we're seeing it more than any other combination, which mathematically, may not be true. After the first few 1111s, of course you're going to remember the rest, your memory is now seeking them out and adding 'em to the collection, so to speak. Just a thought.
