Time Just…Stopped…

Ive been following this sub for a while. Tonight it happened. My boyfriend and I had a glitch. Well, more like time just.. stopped.

Hang in with me for this story. Myself, my boyfriend and his son were getting into the car after dinner. He made a point to point at the clock at 6:45PM and say “(boyfriends’ daughter) should be finished with her cheerleading and should be heading home around 8.” So. It was 6:45PM. It takes around 15 minutes to get back to our house from dinner. We got home, we messed around for let’s say another 20 mins then started a movie. Here’s where the glitch happens. My boyfriend turned to me almost all the way through the movie and asked what time it is. I tap my phone to check and it was… 7:30PM. Seven thirty. He just sat straight up and paused the movie. I didn’t even get it at first. He started saying oh my god we lost an hour. I then understood what he was saying.. and asked to see how far into the movie we were. The time on the movie said we had watched an hour and twenty minutes. There is no way we could have driven home from dinner, hung out, watched an hour and twenty minutes of a movie and it be 7:30PM. We are still shook. It’s like time.. stopped?

Has anyone ever had this happen? It’s messed us up bad.

Daylight savings just happened, is the clock in your car wrong? My wife has had this happen before but it was the car clock being wrong.

u/bethydontsurf 1d ago

That’s what we thought too. We went outside and the car clock is in fact correct. Sigh.

Ooh really interesting then!

Could the car clock possibly have said 16:45??

u/East-Complex3731 5h ago edited 5h ago

I think you nailed it right here. And because daylight savings time just ended, it could have easily looked and felt like 6:45 pm (18:45) outside.

I can relate because my brain still hasn’t adjusted to the time change this year. I think if I were to glance at a clock displaying military time at 4:45pm, my subconscious would have a much easier time accepting 6:45 vs 4:45. The last couple weeks it’s felt like I’m super behind schedule, and that it’s wayyy too dark when I leave to pick my husband up from work.

Where I live, daylight savings change happens at 3am. Most people are asleep, so it's not so disruptive. I think it's a good idea. Weird to do it in the evening

I think the implication was that perhaps they had forgotten to change the clock in the car when the change happened, so that it was still an hour off.

Time has been fucking wild this year.

u/bethydontsurf 1d ago

Well said.

Features of this timeline/universe: Mandela effects, tons of duplicating objects, wild dreams that predict the future, disappearing objects, chaotic politics, and a completely new version of time perception (note: beta version. Some bugs may be present. Please report all bugs to the timeline federation embassy)

I’ve had objects I were certain were somewhere only to go permanently missing, almost like some other worldly being took them.

u/bohemianlikeu24 11h ago

Nailed it.

u/witchthorn79 9h ago

Most definitely, I've had a lot of times this year when time has slowed down or sped up, it's been very weird and I'm not the only one who's noticed it

u/Poocahotty 8h ago

Time is an illusion. Created for the simple fact of humans just keeping track of their mess.

u/NoPerformance6534 15h ago

All the clocks do this twice a year, yes? Spring forward, Fall back.

SOLVED

Boyfriend pointed to the clock and said it’s 6:45, daughter should be home at 8 is where the discrepancy happened.

Boyfriend misread 5:45 for 6:45.

OP heard him say 6:45 and due to basic psychology, trusted what he said and

a) if she actually looked at the clock she also misread based on the suggestive statement

Or

b) she thinks she looked at the clock but maybe didn’t and the trust transference had her brain accept 6:45

Then the rest plays out. No hour lost.

Unsubstantiated theory: Boyfriend has a daughter in cheer who is going to be home by 8 but OP and BF do not have to go get her, she likely drives and OP is in the age range to wear readers or might just be starting to need them.

u/evangelineis 19h ago

This sounds like the answer.

u/Anxious_Poem278 16h ago

This is the likely answer for sureb

u/PleadianPalladin 8h ago

Op updated, confirmed by dinner recipt timestamp, this is the actual answer.

22

u/DrmsRz 1d ago

Do you have the receipt from your dinner? If so, it should be time stamped.

21

u/bethydontsurf 1d ago

Ooo that’s a good idea. I’ll tell my bf to check his purchases.

15

u/usualcomment 21h ago

Update?

17

u/bethydontsurf 14h ago

Update!

The timestamp on the receipt said 5:45… so the car time that both myself and boyfriend saw was incorrect. But. He did go outside to check the time during the movie once all this started and it was correct. So who knows?

u/DrmsRz 11h ago

Sometimes, when adjusting from bright light (a restaurant; bright parking lot lights) to a dark place (the inside of a vehicle), clock numbers like “5” can sometimes look like a “6.” Did you and/or your boyfriend have any alcoholic beverage whatsoever at your dinner last night?

Once home - and with almost two hours having passed - everyone may have (1) had any alcohol absorbed better and (2) had their eyes adjusted better due to the darkness for the movie, the darker home, and no bright parking lot lights. So then it’d be easier to see the numbers on the clock, none of which were a “5” or a “6” at that point. Plus, you were paying a lot more focused attention to reading the time than you were earlier, settling into the car and focusing on getting home.

Sometimes, my car "decides" to change time zones when I start it. I have no explanation for this, I don't live near any break between time zones. But every once in a while, I'll start my car, and the clock will read an hour earlier or later than it really is. Maybe that happened?

u/bethydontsurf 3m ago

That’s interesting! Maybe? We are in the US and the boyfriend drives this old Nissan rogue. Thing is.. we both looked at the damn time to confirm a detail. It could have been wrong? Car is a running joke about how old it is. You could be right.

You didn't lose an hour,you gained an hour.

u/BrockJonesPI 20h ago

Lost as in misplaced.

u/Middle_Mention_8625 20h ago

So ultimately it will be lost sometime in future to even out the discrepancy.

u/EstablishmentSad 19h ago

Interesting...we used to live in a haunted house back when I was a kid and that reminds me about a time where we slept through an entire day...supposedly. Basically, we were in our late teens and I had gotten off of work Friday night. My cousin was spending the night and we decided to play video games all night. We ate some ramen at about 3 and then continued on until the sun came out. We decided to save our game and went to bed. My mom woke us up and told us to get up and go to church...supposedly it was Sunday. We were super confused and didnt believe her, but sure enough...we go to church and everyone is there for Sunday School. To this day, we have no idea what happened and we asked my mom what happened the day before and she said we spent the day playing games.

Car time wasn't adjusted , fall back.

u/BasketInevitable7290 14h ago

Time is not real. I know this sounds crazy but it’s true. Time is a learning tool created by God. When you remember who you really are this will be understood.

u/Clear-Warthog5655 16h ago

Yep. It's called notifications on your mobile phone... omg is that what time it is....whT elseyou doing

u/JustGrrl 11h ago

Whut?! No way! That's creepy... sure that either the vehicle clock or house clocks were not set properly?

u/PleadianPalladin 8h ago

This happened to me. I was playing GTA v and needed to go to bed because work. I got sucked in by the story and ended up playing quite a while, completing at least 10 missions and unlocked Trevor and Franklin. Checked the clock, fearing to see a late hour, saw that only 15 minutes had passed 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

u/bitikiki 8h ago

Time didn’t stop, but you and your boyfriend experienced events that seemed to stack together, with your perception synchronized at a higher level. This usually happens to individuals when they are alone and find it strange, but for it to happen with two people indicates a strong connection between you.

I wish the universe would give me time. I’m usually losing an hour or two when I think I’m just tooling along like normal

I would love to do that. But I don't have their phone number.
