My odometer hit 123456 miles last week - freaked me out more than it should have

I was pulling into the grocery store parking lot when I glanced down and saw 123456.0 on my Honda's dash. I swear I sat there for a full minute wondering if it was a sign or just a random thing my brain got excited about. Has anyone else gotten weirdly obsessed with a number sequence like that?

@terry_lewis21 got it right, numbers love to mess with us. What was it about that exact moment that made you sit and stare instead of just parking like normal?

Numbers love messing with us at the worst possible moment.

I was just reading about something called the "sequential parking illusion" or whatever it is, where your brain tricks you into thinking you have way less space than you actually do. It's the same reason people freeze up in parking lots, numbers just amplify the panic.
