Today, one of my friends called me at 8:30 a.m. to ask where i was when i had already left for college. Usually she is to be late when we have to reach the college library to prepare for exam to be started at 1. I was shocked to find her call me so early. She later on told me that there was no rush in the mess for breakfast. Also, she said that the time had gone 10:15. So we should be quick in preparation. Then, we found that her mobile block was one hour forward. Lol. She told of that seeing that time, she thought her wall clock to be wrong and changed its time to one hour later. We laughed a lot for one hour. Hahaha. Have you ever entro your clock wrong ever? What significant thing happened? Please share.

Hey Bhawik atleast your friend was going ahead of time . In my case I reached station half an hour after the scheduled departure of train . I watch was running slow and my family never checked their watch or the wall clocks . We all were in holiday mood . I can never forget that day . Luckily the train was late and we managed to board the train . Oh my God and the scolding thereafter made me cry .

Oh my god! This incident might have made you a habit of keeping on to check your watch regularly with other clocks. Right? Also, it seems as if you are the eldest among your siblings. And who scolded you?

Yes! very true. I too love learning from mistakes. We keep ourselves aware all the day but still we get mistaken somewhere. Learning from it is the best way to improve our life. And then after improving after every mistake, one day our life shall be free from mistakes and then we'll have a collection of experiences - a special life.

Yes absolutely this incident made me more particular and organised . Mistakes are collection of experiences which make us more strong in future . I got scolding from my parents and that was quite justified ;-)

When my clock is flashing, it means my place has been out of electricity. So I turn on the radio to get the right hour and set my clock.

Sometimes I accidentaly change the time on my alarm clock. The button for the alarm time is right next to the button for the clock and sometimes when I am tired and I am setting the alarm I actually change the time on the clock. That can cause a real problem.

The times the clock ever go wrong is when the power goes out and i usually always go to my computer for the right time or my cell phone but i dont know what i would do if my cell phone went wrong because i dont ever remember my phone being wrong at all and its really weird to me to hear about a cell phone being on the wrong time.

The time in mobile phone gets changed to default when we remove the battery for changing the sim or anything else. She might also have done something like this and not checked the time after re-switching it on.

Hahaha. I've also experienced that but I was an hour late. Its good to be early than to be late. I was with my sister and we have to go to church at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. That time we don;t have any wall clock in our house because it ran out of this battery. Then while we are preparing, I checked the time through texting through balance inquiry. I repeated to be sure about the time. I think I did it 5 times. Then when I found out that it's early, we just relax and I told my sister to later prepare. After relaxing, we did prepare ourselves then we're so shocked when we gt there. The mass is over. Hahaha. I thought to myself that if only I knew the real time we wouldn't be too late. That's why I also wonder why is it so dark outside that its only 4 o'clock in the afternoon? :D Anyway that's all. Thanks for sharing yours. Happy mylotting. :D

I don't have a clock, I only have an internal chronometer lol
to be honest I let my clocks run until the batteries are empty. Usually I have a always have a clock for comparison and so nothing special happens when a clock stops ticking :-)

That's good if you compare two clocks for correct time. But she, my friend, also compared, and changed the time of another clock too. She trusted her mobile better. Lol
