This problem you are facing is called The Baader Meinhof Phenomenon, Basically, you have learned something new, like a new word. Now you start hearing it and seeing it everywhere. This is the Baader Meinhof Phenomenon, its not that the word was never there in the first place, its just that you never acknowledged it, and therefore your brain passed it off as useless information. This actually happened to me a while back, i had recently learned of the word "Anti-Disestablishmentarianism" and out of nowhere i was watching cartoons with my little brother and someone said it! i was mind blown#

I always look at the clock at 4:20, or it'll randomly appear.
I personally just think everyone is so used to seeing that number, and wants it to mean something so they subconsciously pay more attention.
I have a history with 4:20 and I find myself glancing at the clock at 4:15, but rapidly. And at 4:20 my eyes will focus on the clock, but I don't realize it until after.

Well, my theory is that since everyone appears to be seeing 9:11, it's probably just linked to the actual date; you notice it as it does hold some form of significance to you.

That happens to be a lot! I have gotten used to it, but that happens constantly.
