Daylight Savings Time DST again...

[Francis]

So March 14th is Daylight Savings Time again..

Who is affected by this yearly stupidity ?

Who wishes we would end it ?

Who loves the ritual ?

What's so stupid about it? I'd think it would be more stupid to get rid of it and have kids walking home from school in the dark in winter.

I like ti when i get an extra hour of sleep

 

[AnitaBeer]

I'm just thankful that it happens at 2 so no one loses an hour at the bars in the spring!
HAHAHA

NOW in the fall it's awesome because we all get an extra hour at the bar! WOOT

They purposely close the bars at 2 am here so you don't get that extra hour.. :willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

Either way you get shafted.

But that depends on the latitude you live in..

Where we are it makes no difference.. When the change happens the kids are still in the dark.. And what they gain last them barely a week or two..

For all the strain on the body it's not worth it.. But Canada is such a freaken big country that we "must" abide for all other places that benefit..

I freaking hate it... all it does it make me deal with another hour of absurd heat during the summer. I wish California was like Arizona, and didn't observe it.

I hate working 9 hours, getting "paid" for 9 hours, but the time card always adds up to 40 hours. HTF is that possible?

 

[AUDRAA]

I hate it!! and especially this one when we lose an hour its pointless IMO

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

i hate it too because it means i have to work an extra hour that night!! lol

 

[itsmeJonB]

I dont mind it, all my clocks set themselves anyway.

AZ doesnt acknowledge DST either

Takes me a few weeks to adjust Spring and Fall. I understand why it is used. I don't love the ritual but since I wake with the sun waking before 5 am does not appeal to me.

 

[Jessica]

don't like it much....

What are you talking about?? I lived in southern England (Swindon, Reading, and Newbury) and in the winter it was dark when I went to work and when I came home, and in the summer the sun was up before dawn! (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration )

Takes me a few weeks to adjust Spring and Fall. I understand why it is used. I don't love the ritual but since I wake with the sun waking before 5 am does not appeal to me.

Then explain it to me, please, because I think it's dumb as hell.

It's designed to save power.

It used to save candles, now it saves electricity. Supposedly.
