I wish the time-terrorists would just leave the dang clocks alone!

Pick a time, call it what you want then leave it alone.

Daylight savings time makes the day no longer than cutting the top off my blanket and sewing it on the bottom makes my blanket any longer.

Bravo!

I hate DST. What it guarantees for me is that not only do I go to work in the dark, but I drive home in the dark as well. Some weeks I never get to see daylight at all

I actually like it. In MN, the winter daylight hours are soooo short. People go to work in the dark and go home in the dark for a couple months, and there's no skewing the clock enough to change that. But in the summer, that hour taken from the morning and tacked onto the evening is like a little gift of daylight at the end of the day. More "day" at the end of the day, as it were.

Nooooo Brother,  summertime is normal time, it's in the winter that they
go to DST.

Nuh-uh...
 
Daylight saving time (DST)—is the practice of temporarily advancing clocks during the summertime so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

Nanna-nanna boo-boo.

Spring ahead; Fall back.

   Yup

I still don't like it!

 

I don't even change the time in my SUV, people always freak about about it, I ask them if simple math has always given them problems?

And yes, I can be a pain in the ass sometimes!
