Do you adjust the time of the clocks in your home faster/slower than the actual time by a few miunutes or so?

In my home, the wall clock is fast by 10 minutes, while the clock in the bathroom is fast by 5 minutes. A few other clocks are either fast or slow by around 3 minutes... not sure.

So... if you do this in your home, does your brain tell you the time you see on the clock or does it automatically process the actual time for you?

Well maybe as I know how fast/slow each clock is, I somehow tell myself the actual time (not the one I see on the clock) instead. Which makes the adjusting of the clock... pretty useless.




P.S. I searched in The Lounge and nothing came up.
And I love the new search bar! throb.gif [/random]

My alarm clock and microwave time are set 5 minutes ahead. The clock on my bedroom wall is about 5-10 minutes ahead. The clock in my living room is accurate though. My wristwatch is also a few minutes ahead so I can hurry to school and not be marked late.
