To Ask What Numbers You See Every Day?

76 replies

A4710Rider · 24/04/2018 14:09

I've spotted a few other posters talk about this and since I suffer from the same thing I want to ask what numbers do you see all the time and why do you think you see them.

I see 252 daily, probably 4 or 5 times a day, I also see 666 quite often. 252 is an RAF number so I guess that's why I see it all of the time.

It's strange but I've convinced it's my dad watching over me as he was in the RAF as well.

BalloonDinosaur · 25/04/2018 04:53

10:02am - always have, it's also my date of birth.

Form number 252 was a form for recording a charge against an airman for breaching military law or another misdemeanour. Odd number to notice.

JaceLancs · 25/04/2018 05:17

666 but that’s also part of my phone number!
253 again that stands out (work related)

April241 · 25/04/2018 05:20

12:34 for me.

Wanganumb!

Longdistance · 25/04/2018 05:21

239 every day. Phone numbers mainly, motorway posts, houses, trucks/vans.
Phew, glad I’m not alone on this too.

Not if you were actually in the military.

(No, not really, but someone had to say it)

JessieMcJessie · 25/04/2018 19:04

What do you mean then, that 252 is “an RAF number”?

Everyone who as served in the RAF would recognise F252 as being a Charge Form, which meant you were in trouble.

OMG. I'm an 11.11 person too ! I always seem to look at the time when it's 11.11

Makes me smile because my son was born on 11.11.11

mummy2oneandtwo · 26/04/2018 10:02
