Carl-E:
Not nearly as annoyed as those of us forced to do it two weeks ago :P
I spent 15 years in the great state of Indiana, at a time when they didn't acknowledge daylight savings. Instead, we switched time zones - it was easier.
The argument I remember hearing when I moved there was, "The cows need milked at dawn, no matter what time you call it..."
jwhouk:
Our current poll proves the old adage:
Sex sells.
EDIT: And Carl-E, that's the one thing I love about Arizona, when I go down there in the winter to visit my dad. They're not bothered with changing clocks or anything.

(N.B. I will get annoyed at having to put my clock wrong next weekend - Grrr!)

Crap, I forgot I have to put all my clocks forward an hour tonight. Great!

IIRC StJoseph and Elkhart counties were like that swapping between Eastern and Central. Don't remember about the rest of the Hoosier state. Gary was/is following Chicago?
But yeah, daylight saving is one of the most brain-dead ideas. Folks won't agree to wake up at 6, unless we all agree to call it 7, and also agree to mess up the railroad schedules for a day. Besides, what daylight is being saved? Is it really that important that in the summer, instead of it being light out at half ten, it stays light until half eleven??

I'd say catching a pair of hipsters in deer-in-the-headlights paralysis is pretty lulzworthy.
Besides, not all lulz are mean.

I worked at an airport hotel a couple of years ago. When time change day came, all of the out of state guests who had flights to catch the next morning were so confused by the lack of the confusion!
