This polish Troper always happens to look at the clock or wake up at 21:37. The funny thing? It's the hour of the polish pope's death.

This troper has 2! If I'm awake and the time is 3:43 or 1:17 I WILL look at the clock.

You know 3:43 is exactly 17 minutes away from the whole hour..

Not nearly as important though, as both of those numbers are important to me as a {{Halo}} fan. Oh, and 7 has also taken prominence. BUNGIE IS HAUNTING MY LIFE!

For several months after my brother was born, my mother ''always'' found herself looking at the clock when it was 8:59. This happened both in the AM and in the PM. The number has nothing to do with the time or date of my brother's birth, but it ''is'' part of our phone number.

Similarly, 11:38 is trying to kill me. No connection to the movie, as far as I know. Its friend 11:43 is aiding it, too.

Uh, it's, er...666. Damage scores in [=RPGs=] will read "666", [=PDFs=] will size themselves to 66.6%, books will randomly open to page 666, very occasionally prices will ring up with $6.66 somewhere in them, etc. and I'd like it to stop, frankly. I'm tired of my eyes alighting on it randomly, and I'm sure I'm not the anti-Christ. Fairly sure anyway.

This troper used to play various card games a lot. He always ended up with three sixes, without fail.

This troper once had this tendency explained to him, as he noticed it would happen a lot not just with 666 but with other 'common fractions' such as 111, 333, and 999. Likely, as far as games and [=PDFs=] go, this is because however the numbers are generated frequently uses 1000 and standard percents. 666 for 2/3's, for instance.

To the original speaker, you don't have any plans for politics, do you?

Could be worse. My license plate ends with 666.

This troper frequently checks digital clocks at 18:48, or 19:56 (years of two Hungarian revolutions). Also, he wakes up sometimes at 03:14.

This troper and his brother get the 3:14 thing a ''lot''. And not just on clocks. Odd occurrences of 3.14 (aside from it being the first digits of pi) show up in their lives fairly often... Though not for the troper until his brother pointed it out. It's infectious. Argh.

My birthday is March 14 (3/14). So is my dad's. So is the leader's of the volunteer group I'm involved in. So is the father's of one of the people in said group. So is Albert Einstein's. So is Michael Caine's. So is Billy Crystal's. Also know that I found out that all these people had the same birthday as me through idle conversation over the course of several years. 3/14 has been stalking me since I was born...

So is mine.

This troper had a history class in high school where the number "forty" would come up a bunch of times in lecture for some odd reason. After awhile, our class started LampshadeHanging every instance it came up, and our teacher eventually turned it into a CatchPhrase, specifically putting it in when a random number was needed for whatever purpose. Great fun.

Something similar, that my brother ALWAYS has to say: "It's 9:11; make a wish".

This troper, in high school, would invariably look at the clock on the way out the door and it would - every single day - read 07:41. On days when he had 9AM class during university, this would usually be the case as well.

One too many episodes of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' means This Troper is trying to rig his Arc Time to be 8:52.

May be the hunger, but this editor randomly checks the clock every other day at 11:08 AM. The catch? He was born at 11/08...

This troper sometimes encounter famous number at days that are associated with that numbers. On the International Pi day it was a chapter in a book called "a bit of pi" or something like that. When it was Towel Day the bus from school passed a house whith the number 42.

65 and 68.

This troper has experienced that he will always start getting hungry 17:45 in the afternoon, no matter when he ate lunch or supper. But just in the summer.

This Troper always looks at the clock at 11:11, and always sees 42 in his maths lessons. Though, he blames too much H2G2 for that one.

This troper keeps seeing the number "69" in his math lessons. Argh! Make it stop!

We play "Who Wants to Be a Millionare" in math sometimes, and I always get the million, we always have no lifelines left, and the rest of the class always has no idea (not that shocking, I get the best grades in my grade.)

11:34. I see it all the time. That's not as bad as it used to be. Before a certain event in 2001, I kept noticing 9:11.

One furry writer manages to make just about every number a derivative of five. Even it's not a multiple, the digits will add up to five, or a number whose digits add up to five, or a multiple of five.

755 has been popping up since a certain visit to a forum. Pi is also starting to become one.

This Troper's father has a number he will always give when asked for a number: Seven Thousand Two Hundred and Six. My own personal number seems to be 94 for some reason (links StarWars and a shuttle flight, among other things).

661. I used to pass by an office building with 661 in big metal numbers on the side, and gradually started seeing it everywhere: addresses, license plates, classroom numbers, etc. It then became the number I'd put at the end of screennames whenever what I wanted was taken, so that just makes it stick in my mind more.

117. Hooooooboooy. Is it just this troper or do I always see 117 everywhere? In an RPG, my health will turn 117 for a long period of time. In the latest episode of HPAW, I saw Mempf's ammo meter drop to 117 for a while before he picked up more ammo. My clock seems to turn to 1:17 with me noticing it everyday. Maybe I should stop playing Halo so much........

For some reason, my mother has always used the number 17 when asked an annoying/repeated question which would have a number answer. "How many stores do we have to go to?" "17!" This was later taken to the logical extreme: "Mom, can I ask you a question?" "The answer is 17!" This exchange once took place on a cruise ship, and a random bystander jumped in with, "My answer is always 42."

I intend to have encountered 237 in little ways. Doesn't help that I read a lot of Stephen King books and he seems to love that number.

In the late morning, this troper will most of the time look up at the clock to find that it's 11:11.

256 for this troper. When he looks at his phone after school, it will ALWAYS be 2:56 PM. Similar thing with looking at song times. It doesn't really help that it's a common number in computer graphics, and he would call himself a nerd. Most occurances are him lampshading it or specifically noticing the number because it's 256 recently.

Are you me? Seriously, whenever I check the clock, it's 2:56. And on top of the whole 2^8 thing, my birthday is February 25th; February is the 2nd month of the year, and the 25th is the 56th day of the year. What. The. Heck.

This troper is surprised no one has mentioned 23 yet.

Me too. I see that damn number ''everywhere''. It's started bringing friends, too, chiefly the number 9.

superslinger2007: has played a game that takes place in City 17 (who hasn't?), has gotten into using "B-17 Bomber", and was 17 years old two years after March 17 happened. AceAttorney Investigations has its epilogue on March 17. What is March 17 anyway? More than just a coincidence: it's not lucky, that's for sure.

What is a coincidence is 17 is also a number for a troper below. Damn.

For a while when I was at college, 594 seemed to follow me around. A store near campus had a number ending in 5904. Long distance service to call home had 594 in it. While reading a book by TomClancy, he mentioned the 594-class submarine. Now that I think of it, that was around May of 1994...

I, casually, was born on May 12, 1994. May 12 = 1205 in my country. I was born at exactly 12:05, and I always look at the clock at 12:05 (afternoon, or midnight, it is of no matter) And in school, 12 seems to be a recurring number (califications, the result of a really difficult operation, the number of components something has... 12 is my number.)

Don't laugh, because I'm serious about this, but This Troper's arc numbers are 6 and 9.

This troper has 272. I stopped recording occurences of it years ago, but it's still cropped up.

This Troper's Arc Number is 13. Check it: Born on the 25th, my first and last name add up to 12. 25-12=13. ALL the individual parts of my phone number add up to 13. My address is 107 on N. Fifth. 1+0+7+5=13. My locker combination last year (The year I found this out?) 13, 26, and some other number. Locker number? 113. I was in english class when I found this out, on the 13th, doing my 39th journal entry of the year. The word I was spelling at the time (I remember this vividly, don't know why) was Animalization. Count the letters.

Another troper with 13 as an Arc Number. Birthday on the 13th, parents' anniversary on the 13th, grandfather died on the 13th, ex-friend's birthday on the 13th. I'm Jewish, so my 13th birthday was huge in a way unrelated to its being my golden birthday. My name (first, last, middle initial) has 13 letters. I could come up with more examples if needed. Recently I've been keeping an eye out for 42, but sadly that is not my Arc Number.

This troper has 297, it's his house number, the exact file space one of his important folders takes up, formerly the number of comments I'd made on Newgrounds, he intends to look for more.

8 5 12 16. 8 5 12 16! ''8 5 12 16!!!'' '''WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!'''

Mostly 11. One day I actually kept looking at the clock every eleven minutes for like an hour. I didn't mean to!!

10:37 for this troper, but the main digits in his life seem to be 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9. (They involve my area code and my birthday.)

1, 2, and 7. They're everywhere... (see below)

For This Troper, it's the number 17. She was born on the 17th, at 17:00 ''exactly'', in room 17 at the hospital. And now it seems to pop up everywhere...

You are not alone. See above.

For me, it seems to be the number 27. It just pops up in casual conversation as dates or figures all the time when people are talking to me...

For this troper, 3:18 (AM/PM), 10:22 (AM only), 11:11 (AM/PM), 12:34 (AM/PM). 3/18 is her birthdate, and 10:22 is when her high school third period class got out.

This troper is stalked by 137. In fact, I typed this out at 17:31, read it backwards.

Aw frick, you too? Creepy... My other numbers are 27, 42, 47, 413, and 612. Guess where they're from! :D

19. Always. Goddamn. 19.

This Troper is constantly looking at the clock at 4:44. The fact that four is read Shi (Death) in Japanese (A language this troper adores...) is hopefully understandably unsettling... Riiight?

127. This Troper looks up at clocks at 10:27 and 1:27. 127 is an address on my street, the most decrepit house on the street. 10/27 is my birthday. My fifth period class gets gets out at precisely 1:27. In our school's performance in marching band, we form a beating, human heart. In the third part of the song, the band forms an EKG as the lower instruments play the heartbeat. Then it flatlines. After some measures of intense music, we come to measure 127. The heart is beating again, louder and lower than before.

9:54. Often, it can be any time ending in :54, but 9:54 is the most prevalent.

This Troper has 42 and 37 for his. Why such obvious ones, he's not sure, but he doesn't question it.

518. Don't ask. For anything associated with daily routine, it's six. Do not question further.

For this troper, it's 510, a combination of my other favourite numbers, 5 and 10. I always go to sleep on a multiple of five.

413 won't stop following this Troper.

This Troper usually refers to 47 as 42 adjusted for inflation. Also, 2112.

When 5:55am rolls around for the 555th time, either the world will end or I will get a date. Smart money is on the former.

6 9 13 27 84 55 31

Mine changes every year. It's my age, and therefor changes with me.

This troper like the troper above, I run into 23 (or my current age) often, as well as other numbers that can change over time.

The two-digit numbers he seems to have an affinity for are almost all prime; 31, 41, 47, 61, and 97 are the ones that come to the top of his head.

This is completely reversed when it comes to three digit or longer numbers; they're not only not prime, but ones with many factors of 2, 3, and 5 like 480, 768, or 2592.

Many powers of 2; comes with being a Computer Science major.

Alphabetically, this troper is always the 7th or the 13th listed. He also randomly chooses 17s when picking spots.

Exaggerated: this troper has too many numbers to name.

8:19a

3:01p

10:19p (reminded me of the days I had my GameCube, and used the 12-hour clock)

22:04 (I use the 24-hour clock at home; the 12-hours one elsewhere)

That was the time I started adding to this TroperTales page and editing my thing. Dear me did I decide to write then.

305 and 787 (after 23 inches of snow outside one winter, I believe it's time to go elsewhere, where the music feels warm)

FourIsDeath

Seat number 13, also because my name has 5+8 letters.

51337. It's what I think about when I see a rain-snow mix, or ice pellets. Or, in Spain, ya'll better read until the Beghilos calculator spelling finds out.

17 for reasons beyond my control

Similar to the top example, GOD 343. IT'S EVERYWHERE.

Top poster here, you wouldn't happen to be a Halo fan as well, would you?

I keep seeing 39 everywhere. 39 can be read in Japanese as mi-ku.

I will always look at the clock when it's 23:19. Doesn't help that it is the emergency code in MonstersInc

This troper is writing to invoke this trope in one of her fanfic series with the number 52.

This troper's arc number is 10:09 If those letters appear together, this troper will see them. IT has gotten to the point where it is extremely frustrating, and feels like the numbers are chasing me.

Number 9. My birthday is the '''18'''th of the '''9'''th, 1'''99'''2, I was born at '''9''':00pm exactly, '''9''' days late. I weighed exactly '''9''' pounds. My fathers' birthday is on the same day as mine. Not that it matters, but I just checked and I'm '''18''' years and '''9''' months old, and there are '''81''' days until my next birthday.

119 has been one of the most common numbers I've seen that were directly applicable to me. My first paycheck was $119. First time guessing which number someone is thinking: 119. Words I usually type per minute: 119. Amount of money I found on the ground one day? $119. Score I got on my first college final: 119 out of 120. I even have recurring dreams involving the number 119.

This Troper has 9. I was born on the 19-9-1996 at 9am in room 9 of the hospital and weighed 9 pounds and 9 ounces. Also once I had to get an operation (on my birthday no less) and the number on my bed was, you guessed it, 9.

Something of significance seems to happen to me every time the numbers 7 and 13 turn up. Also, I seem to have some kind of fixation on powers of two, especially 4 and 16 (16=4*4=2^2^2).
