Because you forgot about the time change?

An excuse to have a couple more drinks before bed?

Yet another reason to own a cell phone. And why watches are slowly becoming obsolete.

Not the radio controlled watches.

You men you are not able to set a watch to the correct time? Just another sign that people in this society can't do anything for themselves anymore.

When I was a kid, one year we forgot to set our clocks back and arrived an hour early for church. Deciding we didn't want to sit around for an hour we decided to go home. On the way home we ran out of gas and ended up half an hour late for church upon our return.

But no I wasn't late for anything. When I got up at 4 my cell phone had been adjusted. I adjusted my alarm clock before going to bed and the rest of the clocks in the house when I got up.

That kind of happened with me this year. I forgot to set my clock back, so when the alarm clock rang I remembered it was DLST, switched the alarm off, went back to sleep, ended up an hour and a half late!

But it's such a nice feeling when you wake up and realize that you're allowed to sleep for one more hour...

Yeah, mine too - 12:00 Eastern. The weird thing was that my wife's (same model phone and same cell plan) automatically updated much earlier. So I thought I had some option selected that I needed to fix. Fooled around with that stupid phone for like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the right time. Really ticked me off
