Do you set your clocks to the right time or a time different than the right time
Do you set your clocks to the right time or a time different than the right time?
Ever since I was a teenager, I've set my clock at least 10 min. ahead. I love the feeling of relief I get, knowing that I have 10 min. more than I thought I had to get ready. It's a fun game for me. Of course, I'm always aware that the clock is ahead (Recently I make it an odd number ahead like 12 or 13, so I have to do the Math before I really know what time it is.) Ironically without a clock, walking in the woods or at a Mall, I generally can pinpoint the time without a clock. (I never wear a watch). I'm wondering how many of us are out there. I'd love to hear your own rationale.
darn coordinating with others - ha! I do like those clocks ahead
Thanks for the comment, Tim. Sorry it took me so long in getting back. It must have been my clock
My clock is always some minutes ahead (usually 5 minutes; sometimes 3, sometimes 7 - I choose odd numbers).
I also like the feeling that I have more time that I thought I have
And I don't like to be late so that 5 minutes gives me that false time, just to be sure I will arrive at a time).

When I travel, I research clocks before I go, and then make it my challenge to find them photograph them, and find out more about them.Therefore, if you have a clock of any interest where you live, I'd really like to hear about it. Yes, I am planning a holiday,...
