About the time Halo four dropped I feel like certain numbers related to Halo lore have been frequently popping up in my daily life. The numbers 117 and 343 in particular. I know my subconscious picks up and these numbers making it seem like I encountering them more often, but I just find it odd the number of times I thoughtlessly glance at the clock and the time is exactly 1:17 or 3:43. A few other examples include the mile marker number 343 on the Interstate near my house, half the truck trailers at my work beginning with the numbers 343, and now the mileage on my car.
Have any of y'all experienced a similar phenomenon?

Yeah. 2 is a big one for me, as is 13. Kudos to you for not falling into the numerology trap and acknowledging that while strange, its nothing more than a coincidence and you paying more attention to those specific numbers. You have been able to avoid an irrational bias that most other people who become number obsessed can't seem to get away from.
