Literally just had this happen this week: We have a standing meeting between NA and London, and I thought we would have to have a talk when they were showing up “an hour late”.

Turns out we all just forgot the offset changed between us.

It's bad enough that we have the DST clock change, but the fact that the UK and US does the change at different times truly drives me insane.

Iirc Bush (Jr) did this by changing the switchover time

It’s great; I have a clock that does “auto DST”. The problem is that it does it on the UK dates or the pre-Bush dates. I’m in the US. I therefore have to set it manually 4x/year instead of the 0x/ever as designed.

I messed this up with a call to the US today.
