I HATE Daylight Savings Time!

More daylight to take my son out and play in when I get home. We were at the park until after 8PM last night. DST gets :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: from me.
 
Suks at first, but I'm over it by the end of Sunday when I'm sitting there at nearly 8 and it's still light out. Can't wait until later in the summer when it's lighter even longer.
 
i love it.

less traffic on the way home because the sun is higher and not blinding the crap out of everyone, it's sunny when I get out of the gym after work, and either way it's still light out when I get up for work.

With this global warming, it is 100 degrees until 9 PM and the AC is going on like mad even at 9 PM. I wish they would do away with it too.

If it's so great, why not do it all year then?

Wiki
Daylight saving time (DST), often referred to as daylight savings time, is a widely used system of adjusting the official local time forward, usually one hour, from its official winter standard time for the duration of the spring and summer months. This is intended to provide a better match between the hours of daylight and the active hours of work and school. The "saved" daylight is spent on evening activities which get more daylight, rather than being "wasted" while people sleep past dawn.

DST is most commonly used in temperate regions, due to the considerable variation in the amount of daylight versus darkness across the seasons in those regions.

It doesn't affect me too much.

Although a couple of years ago, I forgot to change the clocks, and we ended up being an hour late for dinner at my parents house... they all had a good laugh at that one.
 
I not only wish they would do daylight savings time all year, but in winter they should move ahead one more hour.

exactly.
 
i will take the late sunsets all year long. DST is going to be extended next year:

"From 1986 to 2006 this has been the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time."
 
Just another day of the week. DST doesn't phase me. I have a friend who was dragging arse yesterday. Claimed it was because of DST. /shrug.
 
hehe, I know people that use it as an excuse for being late for work.....it just doesn't work the same when you are over 5 HOURS late :Q (yes I know someone that did this when the time changed this time).
 
"No formal studies have been performed, but an enormous amount of time has been spent by software developers to deal with the fact that 2400 hours past 2pm is not necessarily 2pm 100 days later.

For example, during a North American time change, a fall night where clocks are reset from 2 AM summer to 1 AM winter time, times between 1 AM and 2 AM will occur twice, causing confusion in transport schedules, payment systems, etc. On a more trivial note, this also means that people born during one of those two hours have no way to know which one it really was unless someone like their parents bothers to make an according note in their baby photo album since birth certificates normally don't pay attention to this aspect. Aside from astrologers this doesn't actually cause harm to anybody, but it's a bother to people who would like to know their (almost) exact time of birth and have the bad luck to be born on such dates. On a more serious note, in the UK, Lord Balfour came forward with a unique concern: "Supposing some unfortunate lady was confined with twins and the first child was born 10 minutes before 3 o'clock British Summer Time. ... the time of birth of the two children would be reversed. ... Such an alteration might conceivably affect the property and titles in that House."

Nope, this is the exact reason why Arizona rejects DST.

It may have made sense in the World wars, and even the 60s, before air conditioning was widespread. But the cost of cooling your home for one extra hour in the evenings FAR outweighs the energy benefits of not having to use yout lights as much.

Stupid, stupid idea.
