Daylight Savings Time---yes or no?

I had a total of 40 clocks/watches etc to change yesterday. It used up my 'extra hour' and then some. No more DST please.

Just wait, in 6 months you'll get to do it all over again.

I grew up without it, and have hated it ever since. If they want to change times, let the schools, businesses, etc change the times for their themselves and leave the rest of us out of the equation. :smiley_aafz:

I certainly wouldn't be adverse to leaving the time alone on Standard time.

B-b-b-but- I thought that DST was to help you farmers!?!

Just don't watch the clock, just use it for a reference.
We try to not work after dark. We do alot of road hauling and it doesn't matter what you have for lights it gets dicey on the road after dark.

I say leave the clocks alone. Here in Indiana, we are on the western edge of Eastern time zone. So we already have an extra hour in the evening. But during the summer, it's not dark until 10:00!

Before DST, factories/businesses just changed the work hours.

Also, why some people sets their clock 10 min fast so they are not late, really??

That one drives me crazy. A coworker used to do that in his truck and house, so you never really knew what time it was. He also made it a practice to show up 5 minutes early, which isn't a bad thing in itself. Yet when you add the two together and show up at somebody's house 15 minutes before the agreed upon time... usually I would be doing my breakfast dishes, or walking the dog if he was staying at home.
