I hate daylight savings time! It's like an hour of my life just went POOF!

I hate it too!

I like it in the Fall though. Extra hour to sleep. Extra hour at the bar.

What is this Daylight Saving's you freaks are talking about?

I enjoy it, personally. Adds a little bit of momentary confusion to your life.

As if I need anymore.

Could be said of many people.

You get it back later in the year. And it's not so much that as it is "Okay, now EVERYONE IN THE NATION will get up an HOUR EARLIER. Why? Because we're sadists!!!

We're so special here in Arizona that we don't have to get up an hour earlier. In fact, we laugh, I say laugh at the very thought of daylight savings time. We've even forced Microsoft to bow to our whims. They gave Arizona it's own time zone selection in Windows.

Truthfully, I'm glad we don't switch but it is a little annoying dealing with other states that do. For part of the year Arizona is running the same as Mountain Standard Time. The other part of the year it's the same as Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

I agree. I don't like the lose an hour in the blink of an eye or the confusion over the time of day for the rest of us. I ALWAYS forget to change my clock, today for instance.

Daylight savings time is pointless and should be done away with. I feel sorry for Canada where they are currently badgering all "Rogue" hold outs and provinces to join Daylight savings time.

I read an article in the paper about a clock store owner who has to waste two entire weeks just to get his clocks prepared for Daylight savings.

I guess he went cuckoo! Okay, that's was bad. Sorry.

i like daylight savings time. The point is to save daylight. I like normal time just fine though.

Damn farmers.

What? Only now have you people changed your clocks????
Here in Portugal we changed last week! Talk about different time zones!

Oh, yeah, and I hate it too, waking up one hour earlier is crap!

Day light savings isnt for farmers. It was to save electricity during WW2 IIRC.

Nope, it was for WW1 military operations to save fuel. Seems the military commanders were to fucking stupid to figure out how to save fuel properly so they changed the fucking clock instead. After that it caught on through a variety of reasons. Some having to do with Electricity, some because lazy ass farmers couldn't get up at the right time and needed time itself changed.

Hmm, longer amounts of sunlight in summer thanks to a change of one hour, or not.

Forgive me if I like DST.

Well, at least the clock in my car will have the right time now.

(have had the car for a year now.. and STILL haven't figured out how to change the damn clock's setting!)

I hate for it's sheer pointlessness.

Does it really do anything?

At all?

Blah.

The hour should be taken away when we are at work, not asleep (or goofing off at night). It's okay durring the fall, though.

Yes, it turns a normal weekend into a 47 horu weekend right when I have a formal Thermo lab write-up to do.

Really? Holy shit; I think (and so do most people, I guess) it's time to do away with this pointless bull shit.
