Anyone else always notice a certain time, for me its 8:08 wether AM or PM. Its been happening to me since about 96 when i first started noticing it.

And no i don't smoke crack :)
 
Look at the clock now. There we go cycle broken. You are welcome!

I imagine it's your brain deciding to make a pattern where none exists. You remember the times you looked at the clock when it was 8:08 and ignore the rest.
 
You should read 'Lunar Park'. It has something to say about a repeating time stamp.

The heroin flowing through me, I thought about the last time I saw my father alive. He was drunk and overweight in a restaurant in Beverly Hills, and curling into myself on the bed I thought: What if I had done something that day? I had just sat passively in a restaurant booth as the midday light filled the half-empty dining room, pondering a decision. The decision was: should you disarm him? That was the word I remember: disarm. Should you tell him something that might not be the truth but would get the desired reaction? And what was I going to convince him of, even though it was a lie? Did it matter? Whatever it was, it would constitute a new beginning. The immediate line: You’re my father and I love you. I remember staring at the white tablecloth as I contemplated saying this. Could I actually do it? I didn’t believe it, and it wasn’t true, but I wanted it to be. For one moment, as my father ordered another vodka (it was two in the afternoon; this was his fourth) and started ranting about my mother and the slump in California real estate and how “your sisters” never called him, I realized it could actually happen, and that by saying this I would save him. I suddenly saw a future with my father. But the check came along with the drink and I was knocked out of my reverie by an argument he wanted to start and I simply stood up and walked away from the booth without looking back at him or saying goodbye and then I was standing in sunlight. Loosening my tie as a parking valet pulled up to the curb in the cream-colored 450 SL. I half smiled at the memory, for thinking that I could just let go of the damage that a father can do to a son. I never spoke to him again.

I have a bad habit of checking my tablet battery at exactly 14% - regardless of whether the icon showing approximate battery level is visible or not or whether I have any reference as to the expected battery level or not.
 
I always use to wake up at 3:23 and as I looked at my clock it would tick over to 3:24 almost immediately.

I say always... it went in for about 2 months.
 
not been consistent over several years, but recently i have noticed it happening, principally at 08.30 am on weekdays and 09.30 am on weekends, although why it's this same round number so consistently or why it changes on weekends by exactly an hour is a mystery to me....
 
1337 here too.

Was a stage I used to wake up at 03:13 in the mornings, then my wife woke me up one night when she went into labour at 03:13.
