I hate that minute.
I saw the clock at 22:41 about 10 times from 27 in this month.
To tell why is it so important:
Several years ago I discovered that I check the clock at 22:41 quite often (although I take a look at the clock about once in an hour). First it was fun (22.41 dm3 is the molar volume of an ideal gas at 0°C), later it became quite annoying. And then... I had a dream where a voice said: the last thing you will see in your life is 22:41 on a clock (the other thing killing me is Guns N' Roses - November Rain, the last song I'll listen before I die - according to another dream).
That's why I listen to November Rain when I have suicide mood.
Since that I see this number even more often: the registry number of the fire alarm button next to me is 22/41, the last 4 digit in the phone number of the most frequently called workmate is 2241 and one of the software licence keys I use starts with 2241.
You realize it's just coincidence, right? (although the clock thing might be because you subconsciously know approximately when it is that time, and then you associate it with looking at the clock).

Sure. But it's still annoying. :D
November rain has one of the best guitar solo ever (at the end).

I couldn't agree more. Only one cord-instrument solo can beat that, and it's
Flight of the bumblebee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d22O9B822fM)
The sad fact is that I also like November Rain.
Alternative rock -> glam/metal/rock'n'roll
Best guitar solo ever:

The flight of the bumblebee thing was pretty amazing, but of course it doesn't "speak to me" like the above song.
Hey, it's time!
There was a month, a few years ago, when I kept waking up at 4:54 in the night. Sometimes I would be fully awake, sometimes half asleep, just enough to check the time. And every time the watch read 4:54.
After 6-7 times, it became slightly creepy. So one night I woke up and refused to look at the time. Got up, went to the toilet, wandered to the kitchen, then back to bed. There curiosity finally won, and I checked the time.
4:54, again.
Just stopped happening a week later, if I remember correctly. Watch wan't broken, by the way :)
There's another one in the night: 2:09. Usually I can't fall asleep earlier than that - only lying in the bed.

Creepy! But maybe it was some scheduled event happening outside which woke you up - like the first bus going by or something.

That wouldn't explain why he woke up earlier, went to the bathroom and wasted some minutes before checking and still it was 4:54

Maybe it's your own time sense.

That's a likely explanation, as I usually wake up before alarms (even those very early in the morning). Tic-tac, my brain knows the time :o

Maybe the bus was a little bit early that day :)

Another good explanation, but there were no busses in that area (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=dumbiedykes+road). Garbage trucks arrived around 6-7 instead.
Oh, we don't have a garbage truck for Stunts! CTG, come on! ;D

Yes, we have. I call it GTO.

UP! :-\
125 days passed from 2014, I have already seen the annoying value 58 times...
Just start looking for 22:35 instead. Set your alarm clock to 22:35 every day and look at it and remember what you're doing.

I've already tried a similar method, it did not work. I guess any other captured minutes would be under 20 times in this year...
Then just accept it and try to make sure you capture it every day. Sit and wait and look at the clock and then say to yourself "hey, 22:41!". Take control :D
again...
Of course I saw it again... FVCK YOU, real madrid!
Look at the Bible.
Peter's 2nd letter, 2 (misleading teachers), 4, 1st sentence:
"God did not forgave the angels who sinned, but locked them in gloomy caverns, cast them down to hell, to be held for judgment day."

I don't believe in fairy tales.
But you do believe there's a significance to the 22:41 thing?
