11:11
 
Have you ever made a wish at 11:11? Has it come true?

Does anyone know where this superstition actually came from?

I remember I heard it the first time from this one girl who just said, "It's 11:11, make a wish!" I was like "why, okay, whatever", so I made a wish... and it came true! Of course it's probably just coincidence, but it's fun. ^^

I do that when ever its the same # in a row but I never noticed if it came true or not ^^;; but as for 11:11 some people I know are afread if that time, they say bad stuff happen at that time

I don't do it, but I've heard a lot of people talking about it. So much at one point, actually, that it really got on my nerves...

Fullmetal Phantom 06-28-2008 09:56 PM

I don't go for that kind of thing...because I hate the number 11. XD;

...blame Code Geass. The way I see it, 11 is a racist number. :illgetu:

However, I HAVE been known to make a wish at 2:22, 3:33, and 5:55...but not 4:44, because 4 is death. :sweat:

It's never come true, and I don't expect it to; I just do it for the hell of it.

Hmm, ohh dear ,something I didnŽt now. IŽll try it, just for fun :)

KanagawaSugarStars 06-28-2008 10:21 PM

I have friends who do that. I don't. o-o

Clair Voyant 06-28-2008 10:43 PM

I don't ever wish, but, I do count it out.
I do for every hour when I see it.

Anglie 06-28-2008 10:47 PM

11:11 at night or morning? I've never heard of that *wants to try* xD

iC[a]ndy 06-28-2008 10:55 PM

I don't really, but whenever I notice, I do. None of my wishes have came true.
It started when my boyfriend at the time told me, "It's 11:11, make a wish!" And I was like, "Why? ..okay.." I don't remember what I wished for, but I doubt it did. xDD

I'm not sure how the superstition came about, but it'd be interesting to learn. (:

Anglie: It's at night.

Kibz 06-28-2008 11:23 PM

Meh i never do anything like that, it seems silly to me.

If i make a wish, i doubt it's gonna come true whatever time i make it xD

I'd probably make one for the hell of it if i saw a shooting star though, at least they're more rare occurences xD (sp?)

psyrien 06-29-2008 12:36 AM

It is silly. I've never really felt anything special at the time of 11:11, but midnight just feels, I don't know, magical to me. But I don't go making wishes then.

I pretty much do the 11:11 thing for the hell of it. xD

Kibz 06-29-2008 12:45 AM

Well if it's for the hell of it, then why the hell not? :P

Hmm. what about that time of day you alway seem to see without trying?

for me its 6.06am (i wake up at wierd times 0.o), should i make a wish then? xD

psyrien 06-29-2008 01:08 AM

I haven't really noticed what time it is when I usually look at the clock. Lately, it's been 11:11, but I think that's just because I've been thinking about it that I'm noticing when I'm seeing it.

But yeah, I think one of the things the whole 11:11 wish thing came from was because people kept seeing the number over and over again. I'm guessing someone said what the hell and made a wish. xD

It worked once. I got my muffin. ^_^

Oh, my school has TV clocks, so we're super obsessed with this stuff.
Our favorites are usually consecutive numbers, or consecutive pairs.
We cheer at doubles too. xD

Embella 06-29-2008 01:59 AM

I've never even heard of it, but ima try every day!

DJ Mango 06-29-2008 02:23 AM

orly. o.o
Okay! I'm gonna wish something that's likely not to happen.
Only with a friend. xD
I don't want to find some creepy force from the great beyond.
Haunting my room, watching me at night, sleeping..

I actually heard that for the first time a few days ago when I friend of mine stayed over and she looked at our clock. I didn't actually make a wish though since I'm not really much of a superstitious person.

I took one of those personality quizzes once that told me I had to email 5 people or the wish I made at the start of the quiz would never come true. Considering my wish was "To eat lunch" I'm glad it was a lie. XD

I thought midnight was supposed to be the all time bad, superstitious moment of the day. Where did 11:11 come from? I suppose because 6:66 isn't possible, the demons had to go elsewhere?

emuthesuperhero 06-29-2008 06:56 PM

I used to do the whole *i wish for you* on 11:11. i still do it once in a while for random things, or pray instead....

Kieran Haines 06-29-2008 07:49 PM

I first heard about 11:11 from a quiz I was taking.
But I never do it. : P I stopped wishing upon things when I was little, since they never came true.
