Bruh I literally forgor 💀
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.
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.
Nice, that’s how it should be.
That’s incredibly unfair. Everyone says we don’t, but I just checked my timesheet and it’s listed as a 13 hour shift (instead of 12) with a notation marking it as happening during a time shift.
It’s more than simply unfair. It’s theft, wage theft, plain and simple.
It was, I didn’t stay there long. That one thing was one of many things indicative of a bad employer.That’s good that your employer treats you fairly though.
I got a late appointment for my dog at the vet’s office. A tech walked out and was kind of freaking out that it was already dark at 5:30. She said she’d never experienced DST before. Turns out she’d moved here fairly recently from Puerto Rico and they don’t change time there.
I’m on vacation in Hawaii rn. No time change here, so it’s pretty nice, just will be 2 hours different instead of 3 when I go back.
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
Was that today?
Daylight savings happens in different countries at different times, so might have been today for some people.
I rely on smart devices to tell the time, but it’s easy to notice DST when the few dumb devices I have are out of sync. If I didn’t have any of those, I would have missed the switch entirely.
I was very confused why I woke up so early until I spotted my microwave in the late afternoon.
You notice when you wake up and the sun either is brighter or it is dark outside.
My car even switched automatically this year. Why brain gud when no need?
It would be nice if there was a little notification. Can’t believe there isn’t.
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 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
