Was the clock out to get you when you were little?

Ok, I always thought that I was the only one who thought about this, but seeing how many here share experiences I thought only I had, I figured I'd give it a shot.

When I was little < 13 I would stare at the digital clocks and wait for the time to change. I would get so pissed and stressed because I would never see the time change. We even had those flip clocks that show the number by turning the flaps so those were worst.
And then when I blinked, or turned away for a millisecond, the time changed and I'd get frustrated and wait for the next minute again.

So was I just crazy when I was little, or was anyone else obsessed with this time changing concept?

I had the same problem with analog clocks, but if you pay really, really close attention you can see the minute hand move very slowly.

I jsut happy if I did get to see the minute change but later I ralized it really wasn't special. I actually have been a little obessed with finding unique and/or special. It's hard to find as it turns out as many things that are normal try to pretend to be special or unique.
