How about this for an explanation?
You look at the clock all the time. Purely by chance, a couple of times in a row you saw the number, which stuck in your head because of the three 3's. After that you look at the clock lots but if it's not 3:33 you don't even notice that you are checking it. So, when it is actually 3:33 you think that it is showing you that a disproportionately high number of times.
....or your clock is buggered.
