Bruh I literally forgor 💀
I noticed because my oven suddenly had the right time
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.
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?
People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time
Okay, but we’re not cave people, ffs. I couldn’t help notice the sun was up a lot sooner than normal.
Night shift worker here. May as well be a cave person. I didn’t work when DST happened, therefore it happened seamlessly to me and I am entirely unaware of it. I actually only know it happened because people were talking about it.
Hey, speak for yourself. The only reason I remembered DST was a thing was because I saw a bunch of posts here referencing it.
I only noticed dst change when I saw that my analog desk clock was off by an hour one day compared to my phones. Why do we even do this shit, I dont think anything changes for my routine from it
All the more reason to fall back and never spring forward again.
Was that today?
Daylight savings happens in different countries at different times, so might have been today for some people.
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
I work night shift. I got to watch the time on my phone reset and then relive the hour again while stuck on shift.
I hated that when I did overnights. I didn’t even get compensation for the extra hour of work.
I’m on 3rd shift & get paid an hour of OT in the fall for working daylight savings. In the spring if you work it you get paid an hour of straight time since you worked a full shift.
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.
I knew someone who came to the UK as a student from Nigeria, which used the same timezone as British Summertime. His phone was still on Nigerian time and it took until monday when he realised that people weren’t at the bus stop and the bus was an hour late that he was living his life in a different timezone
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?
