My dad did that one year lol. Refused to change his clocks or personal routine. Dunno if he was able to stick with it or not — but it was funny to hear him talk so seriously about why he "refuses to abide by such an arbitrary concept that makes his life harder, by having to adjust his body's schedule"

His face had such a straight up "nope, fuck all that" look about it, it cracked me up lmao

Some people willingly handcuff themselves to one.

The amount of times I've heard someone say 'its for the farmers' as if farmers have ever given a fuck what the clock says.

I think it's for us postal workers, so we can sleep in for an hour right before pre-Black Friday and Black Friday and Black Friday Returns and Christmas and Christmas Returns. And then when we're finally done with Valentine's Card season we pay it back right before Tax Return season

When working with a flexible schedule I do this too. Having your own timezone can be convinient.

I kind of do the same. I work 6:30am to 2:30pm for most of the year, but do 5:30am to 1:30pm during daylight savings time. It's nice to see the sun for a little bit after work.

Respect! Guy's got his own time zone.

I work for a Chinese company and my colleagues treat daylight savings time as an inexplicable religious ritual that they indulgently accommodate us ptimitives iin.

I feel the same as a programmer. Also time zones.

This is the level of not giving a damn I want to reach.
