What's the longest you've ever gone before realizing you missed the time change? nt
While pulling out of the driveway this morning, I thought it seemed like the street wasn't as busy as usual. I got to thinking about the time change, and how many people might have completely missed it. So, I put the question to you: what's the longest you've ever gone without realizing the clocks had changed (standard or daylight time, doesn't matter)?

1. I don't think I ever have
Especially not the fall back one. That's one extra hour I can party!

2. I have a brand new alarm clock
Not only was it preset with the correct time EST when it was shipped from the factory, it also was programmed to turn itself back an hour for DST - including the alarms. I was pretty impressed. but I was out and about by 9 AM Sunday and it did seem like less people were out, even taking into account church...

All I had to do myself was reset my wristwatch, car clock, and stove clock.

3. I have a clock like that, but it was made before the EST and DST date change...
So it changed a week early, and really confused me and my wife for a few minutes, because we thought our son had gotten up earlier than usual. Turns out he slept in. :)
