Who is being weird about clocks changing here?

I love that a now passed family member used to leave their wristwatch as the wrong time for 6 months!
My favourite 'nope' in the world

I did this several times today, I feel tired but I got up at usual time, oh receipt or was really 6:30 not 7:30. Why is DS still bouncing off the walls at bedtime? Oh because it's really 6pm not 7pm and the volume of chocolate he's consumed today Although I'm now in bed happily, even though it's really only ten to ten!

I do it in my head for about a week or so after the change. Sometimes say something to DP if the cat is demanding food earlier than usual! But certainly not as a constant reminder out loud.

It’s not weird at all, I assumed everyone did this (for the first 1-2 days)

It IS annoying! Thankfully it's not all the time, because the clocks rarely move an hour, and we don't go on weekends away more than 3 times a year, and only the odd couple of day trips, and Christmas is only once a year. But fuck me it's annoying when he does it. I don't even know why he does it!

I do exactly the same as your husband to be honest.. but only for a few days

If he can suddenly start doing it two weeks before why can't he suddenly start doing it when it actually happens??

@SabreIsMyFave Just reading your post annoyed me. Feel sorry for you living it!

My husband doesn’t change the clock in his car. So for the next 6 months it will be the correct time 😂

I used to buy all the clocks change themselves so don’t have to think about it anymore

I only do it first thing in the morning, to work out how much sleep I've had/whether I need to be getting up. I might mention how dark/light it is in the evening as obviously it's a novelty the first time, but other than that, I just get used to it.

winter time is actually correct time

There's no such thing as "correct time". Although accurate timekeeping has been absolutely necessary for humanity to function for about 150 years, the point in the earth's rotation at which 07:00am GMT occurs is entirely arbitrary.

Yes to do this for 2 weeks IS weird, and ludicrous! One to two days tops is acceptable. Anyone does more than that, and they're being ridiculous and annoying.

My DH is a bloody nuisance for this. Yesterday at 6pm, he said 'this time tomorrow it will be 7pm.' Today at 3pm, he said 'this time yesterday it was 2pm!' Next Saturday at 1pm, he will say, 'this time last week it was midday.'

Yet around FIVE TIMES today he has said 'what time is it?' First time I said '2pm...'

Then he started acting all confused ... He looks like and then says 'so that was 3pm yesterday?' I said 'NO - this time yesterday it was 1pm, the clocks went FORWARD an hour, not back!'

Then I said 'we will have our Easter roast dinner at 7pm is that OK?' he said 'but that's late. That's like 8pm .... 7pm today was 8pm yesterday.' I said NO 7pm was 6pm yesterday. We usually have dinner around 6-6.30pm anyway!' He's like

Also, when we have been away for a weekend to North Wales for example, he says (when we get back,) 'this time yesterday we were in Llandudno.' and then a week later, he says 'this time last week we were in Llandudno.' Same if we go for a daytrip to Chester say... The next day, he says 'this time yesterday we were in Chester.' The following week... 'this time last week we were in Chester.'

Then the week before Christmas... 17th December he will say 'this time next week is Christmas Eve,' then the next day ...' this time next week is Christmas day,' then the next day 'this time next week is Boxing day.' Then the beginning of January he says ... 'this time last week it was Christmas Eve,' and 'this time last week it was Christmas day,' and 'this time last week it was Boxing day.' 😖

I don't need him to tell me.. I FUCKING KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drives me fucking batshit.

Yes! My husband and seemingly now my son have done this all day today... so annoying!

My dad used to wear two watches on holiday, one with the holiday time and one with the UK time! 🤭

Eeeeek I do it too! But only for the following day!

I do this for the first couple of days, usually in my head but sometimes out loud. It's an adjustment 🤣

20 mins ago we came to bed and I said so really we’re going to bed at 9pm tonight an hour earlier! He said no we’re going to bed because we’re tired 😂

just me I thought until he then said I’ll get up an hour earlier to feed the cat because she’ll know what time it really is 🙃

sorry I don't want winter mornings to only get bright around 10am with still getting dark early eve. winter time is actually correct time and if clocks are to stop changing then it should be winter time you still get your brighter eves
but then people be whinging it's bright at 3am. if it ain't broke don't fix it

What's the point of being married if you can't annoy each other with this sort of thing. We go on about how much lighter it is etc.

I make any alterations before going to bed on the Saturday and then it's no problem just a normal Sunday.

We all do this in my house. And there’s always a clock somewhere that misses the time change, or is finally back on the right time after 6 months.

Time change on holiday isn’t too bad if it’s within a couple of hours because the light makes sense.

I do. In my mind. For about 1 day. Then I forget.

I cba to change one clock last October so one less today. Also I don't know how to change the time on my cctv so I usually make a written note of correct time and cctv time as I get in a tizz trying to work it out in my head. I don't say it out loud though.

It doesn't bother me, but I accept that it has a bigger impact on some people. Fortunatejy I wasn't working a night shift this year, and had no early commitments, so I just got uo and carried on. I light go to bed a bit later than usual.

DH thought that it was unusual our boys slept late this morning as the clocks go forward tonight 😂
