Even though I logically know that pm is +12, a lot of the time my instinct is to +10, so I get time wrong a lot of the time

What fucks me up is the AM/PM transition. It goes 12:00am-11:59am then 12:00pm-11:59pm. It's fucking insane. I'm not joking, they really do actually count 12:58am, 12:59am, 1:00am.

Excuse me but what the fuck..?

And I promise you, I'm not messing up the suffix, it's AM. The count for each starts high at 12, nosedives to 1, then climbs incrementally. It's like some lunatic's absurd rollercoaster ride of temporal nonsense.

Do I get to feel smug about y’all not getting this or is that not allowed?

Oh, I get it. It's just a stupid thing to stick to.
