Fucking time zones and daylight saving/summertime. I live in a place that doesn’t change my clocks twice a year, but constantly deal with people that do. The number of times I have people say EST when they mean EDT is too damn high. Worse when they say MST, cause then I have to ask “are you in Arizona?” to which they look at me confused and say no. Then I about blow a gasket cause “then you’re not in MST!” If you’re going to live in a place that always changes your clocks, get your own terminology right dammit.

I never remember whether we’re currently in daylight savings or not since it’s so stupid. I just started saying ‘eastern time’ instead of the abbreviation to avoid getting it wrong

I didn’t even know there’s another name for timezones in daylight savings time. Good to know I guess

I base everything on GMT + X. When I’m inviting people to meetings. You work out your own Timezone. Also tell me when you want to meet in terms of GMT. It helps stop the summer / winter crap for both northern and southern hemisphere.
