Bruh I literally forgor 💀
My mom usually reminds me about daylight saving time, even though it’s unnecessary because I have no clocks to reset. I was surprised she didn’t bring it up to me this time
Me sitting here in Arizona not knowing what you’re all talking about then remembering I’m in Arizona.
I had to stay up to push my sleep schedule back to catch an early flight. I didn’t know we were going back until it was about to be 2am (when I planned to go to sleep) and it was suddenly 1am. Normally I’m happy to get an extra hour of sleep but this time it meant having to wait an extra hour to sleep.
I was driving to the store on Sunday around 5:30ish and I wondered why it was so dark. That’s when it hit me. The only clock I have in the house that doesn’t set itself is the coffee pot and I rarely drink coffee.
A number of years ago my wife and I visited Lubec, Maine, which is about the northeastern point of the state. Lubec has a bridge that connects to Campobello Island, which is Canadian. For whatever reason, Campobello is in a different time zone despite being physically only one or two hundred yards from the mainland.
I learned the hard way that the closest cell tower in the area was on Campobello, and since it’s in a different time zone it caused my phone to change time to an hour earlier. Luckily it resulted in us being an hour early for a harbor tour instead of an hour late.
My friends missed a wedding ceremony because of this, showed up an hour late and were very confused. I guess people who live right next to a timezone border turn off the automatic updates on their phone?
First time in my life it was good thing. Friend and I were sleeping off hangovers, thought we wasted the day away and got back an hour.
Every other years it’s meant me staying later for or going in early for work lol
I think I have it in my contract that I don’t have to work longer hours just because the time changed. Basically I start work at 9:00 a.m. (or whatever might start time for that week is) and then I finish 8 hours later. Whatever time 8 hours after the start time is, I go home at that time, regardless of what the clocks currently say.
As it should be. My management there were just bad at there jobs
Some people have a mixture of both and don’t know which clock is right or not
A person with a clock knows the time. A person with two does not.
deep.
All the more reason to fall back and never spring forward again.
My phone automatically adjusts.
It would be nice if there was a little notification. Can’t believe there isn’t.
I noticed because my oven suddenly had the right time
You notice when you wake up and the sun either is brighter or it is dark outside.
I was genuinely wondering why I woke up at 430 am. Like 530 is uncommon but 430?! The fuck?
Went back to bed, woke up before 8?? Like all week it was hard to get my laptop open for 8am but suddenly… what?
My girlfriend reminded me.
My car even switched automatically this year. Why brain gud when no need?
We stopped doing that in my country. I don’t remember why though?
Maybe because the twice yearly time change results in loss of productivity, and is bad for mental health?
