It’s extremely annoying when you are setting the time on some digital clock and it asks you if you are currently in daylight savings time. How the hell am I supposed to know? I vaguely remember the “Spring Forward, Fall Back” rule, and can re-construct from there whether we have most recently set the clock forward, or back, and hour, but I have no idea which one is the normal, or “default” time, and which is the “adjusted” time. All I know is one is an hour ahead of the other. I must have missed that lecture in elementary school.
Must have also missed the lecture about the holidays. How are we supposed to know when all these bizarre holidays are, like Memorial Day, Labor Day… I’ll be working and wife will say, “you know next weekend is the memorial day holiday, right?” and I had no clue it was creeping up on us; for all I know it’s another 8 months away. And don’t get me started on stupid Holidays like Easter that are based on the damned solstice etc.
