No you're not dense darling, but technically 1pm is 13. ;)
Never. I refuse to use or think in military time. No clock I have ever owned had that many numbers on it and since it was not taught to me in grade school I have ever right to refuse it exists.

it technically isn't military time, it is called the 24 hour clock....
The 24-hour clock enjoys broad everyday usage in most Asian, European and many Latin American countries. When a time is written down or displayed, the 24-hour notation is used in these countries almost exclusively. The 12-hour clock remains in some regions commonly used in informal language, while, for example, most German, French and Romanian speakers use the 24-hour clock today even when speaking casually.
It is not uncommon that the same person would use the 24-hour notation in spoken language when refering to an exact point in time ("The train leaves at fourteen forty-five ?"), while using some variant of the 12-hour notation to refer vaguely to a time ("? so I will be back tonight sometime after five."). People are used to converting between the two notations without requiring mental arithmetic, and most perceive "three o'clock" and "15:00" simply as synonyms.

I also did not grow up in any Asian, European or the assortment of latin american countries unless you count california as latin american but if you do they did not bring their crazy 24 numbered clocks with them across the border.
