Daylight Saving Time

[Hatin Since 87]

Seems like majority here dont like DST and would rather go back to the old system. Not sure why its taken 232 pages to come to that conclusion, but, here we are.

Its a stupid system, and harder on the kids than it is us. Whatever excuses people wanna make for it, its all personal preference, and most people would rather not change times twice a year.

How do we know this?

my only position is that this should go away at a federal level.

Because there's always a squeaky wheel in every thread.

Usually it's me.

This time, not so much.

Maybe in this instance there is 2 squeaky wheels?

I have talked with literally dozens of people in the last couple of days and not a single person has commented about time change…

Have you talked with your psychiatrist about this strange phenomenon?

I talked to a dozen people and none of them commented on using the bathroom.

That isnt evidence that they do not use the bathroom tho

Three people complained about the hour loss on Monday.

Of all the others (minus the wife who changed the clocks) not a word was said

If it was as big a deal as you guys all say shouldn’t they be complaining just like here?

Not everyone takes your approach.

That seems backwards. I have no complaints in this thread, but I sure have seen a gazillion of them…

Again, that isnt evidence of anyones opinion on the matter.

Theres many things people dislike, but they dont bring it up in general conversations.

I hate switching. I know there are arguments for it. I think they're all crock.

It's harder on kids and pets because they don't get it (but the kids at least are plastic and adjust more easily)
It's harder on not-kids because they're more set in their patterns.

Again, that isnt evidence of anyones opinion on the matter.

What, you don't just walk up to random people in the grocery store and start complaining about the list of things you hate in the world? Weirdo.

That you thought of this is the weird part. If one interacts with others you will hear what is on their mind. Probably a bunch of introverts that never talk to people…

I've heard lots of people at work complaining about it the past two days. I guess you just associate with people that like to sleep late.

I can say I do not know a single person that goes to bed a 8 pm. Heck even of the parents I know few put their kids to bed at 8 pm. When dedicated folks like you are gone these companies are going to struggle.

DST still sucks balls
