Arousing intense disgust or aversion, tending to drive someone away. Something that smells bad. The others. Identical magnets. Internet commenters. Cable news. Ego. People who think they know better than you.

We humans notice patterns. If something has a bunch of numbers all in a row, it crosses our radar more than something that doesn't. Which is why this car odometer is crazy:
As you might expect, this took some serious planning. From Jalopnik:
We figured out that 122,667 is the magic number and that it would be likely to fail due to spacing out at one of the crucial steps.
But we ended up having to go to my uncle’s funeral in Hendersonville (who has a perfect 57 Chevy in the garage I think) so just by luck the whole family was in the car eagerly anticipating the event.
Steps to replicate: 1) subtract 789 from 123456 to get 122667. 2) be ready to press and hold trip reset. 3) don’t forget!! 4) Wait 789 miles (couple of months normally). 5) be ready!! 6) Pull off the highway when you have a few miles left. 7) Drive up and down a deserted road/around a parking lot as needed, since doing this while driving is probably not smart. 8) Take photo!
Naturally, other commenters posted photos of their odometer patterns in the comments. Go check them out.
