I think it's more a matter of perception than true coincidence.
People often notice when a digital clock reads 11:11, or perhaps 9:11. They tend to notice these particular digits, and when they see them several times in the span of a few days, often assume it is a bizarre coincidence. In truth, their experience belies the fact that we glance at the clock subconsciously - far more often than we would guess - but only think to remember it when there is something notable about the time it displays.
