Ok guys and gals, where does everyone stand on this nonsense?
Poll: daylight saving time?
- Thread starter stray
- Start date
I hate it. I do like more sunshine in the evening though. I say since it just changed leave it here and be done with it.
My main preference would be pick one and leave it. If I was the one making the decision, I'd keep it on standard time because I absolutely hate the idea of getting elementary age kids up in the middle of the night for school and then making them stand on the side of the road before the sun comes up to catch the bus. When I was raising my children I drove from Canton to Cartersville on hwy 20 and I always thought it was foolish to run school buses all over that road with no natural light.
I’ve never understood all the complaining about it and I’ve never gotten worked up over it either.
The only part of it I dislike is changing back in November and then it is dark at 5:00.

When you spring forward doesn’t that put you on DST? Does that make the third choice in the poll contradictory?
Just fall back 30 minutes this year and damn be done with it.
When we switch back, it doesn’t get better. It feels like I’m working OT.
just set it and forget it

Daylight savings does that to me. Seems like I am half asleep all the time and feel sluggish.
Believe you have it backwards…DST is spring forward…
Give me Standard all the time, prefer daylight in the morning

Spring forward (in March) puts us on Daylight saving time (DST). Fall back (in November) puts us on Standard time. So we're on DST for 8 months a year and standard for 4.
I chose the 3rd option - keep it the way it is. It's a compromise that avoids having the sun come up really early during the summer and really late during the winter. And it's only a measly one hour change twice a year. It's not like we're having to do this every 2-3 months and changing the clock by 6 hours like we're traveling to Europe.
