What TIME is it, does anybody else do this?

Posted in the Off Topic Forum as well...

Been doing this for decades, I happen to look at the clock and watch the digital display change to 911... this is proceeded by the customary fist-pump or verbal exclaim, 911 YEA!

Lately since acquiring a 912 I have also noticed the clock change from 911 to 912, right at that very second I just happen to look at a clock, at home, my office or in my vehicle and viola.

Is anybody else afflicted with the same condition?

HAPPY FATHERS DAY,

Mike

It is such a common affliction that a few months ago Jeff Zwart's regular photo in Excellence was a picture of his iPhone saying "911" just as he approached his Carrera in the parking garage.

My 912's clock is broken at 938. I'm left wondering what that model will look like when they make it.

It's true Matt about the commonality and it extends beyond just the TIME, like when I pick-up lunch and the tab is $9.11 or when I'm filling my tank with gas from close to empty I look for the auto-fill shut off to hit "911" in the sequence... it's like I'm sub-consciously looking for it.

Unfortunately there is a sad part of this referrence to 911 that we all wish never happened.

My job requires some data input where I often get some fraction of 1 and put in the number in three-place decimal format. I am often typing .911, .964, .993, .986, etc. Always makes me smile.
