fall back

Why do people love talking about daylight savings so much?

The night before it's like the only thing people discuss. You hear "Don't forget to turn back your clocks tonight!" three times as much as the ever-present "Are you finally ready to leave? I waaaaant Ivy Noodle," "Honestly, Kelly is being such a bitch tonight" and "So should I text Jeff back or not? Should I wait ten minutes?"

And then the Sunday after the fact, everyone is utterly obsessed. "Did you remember to turn back your clock?," they ask. ("No," you want to say. "I just decided it would be fun to show up to this 1:00 meeting an hour late.")
