Yep, went to work this morning an hour early. I thought I was late but when I saw the clock I was like ".....fuck".

Nope because for us English people it was last weekend.
Although I haven't changed my wall clock yet as it nice to look at it in the morning, panic, and the realize that I am not late for work but actually have another hour in bed!

Alarm Clock was an hour behind, so I woke up at what I thought was 6:10, stayed in bed till What I thought was 7:50, then went and played games for an hour, thinking it was 8:50, but when I looked, the clock said 7:55. So I had a bit of a derp moment, because then I actually thought, "Oh, it's been about 5 minutes"

Around here it was a week ago, and no derps. I woke up on Sunday, looked at my clock, was surprised it was still that early and went back to sleep.

fortunately i use my cell phone/itouch for my clock needs, and they always change when they are supposed to, so got into work an hour earlier according to the time so got out an hour earlier, and enjoying it up

Yeah, for us Europeans it's on the last Sunday of October. Different in other places. It's confusing...

You wont be late if you don't set your alarm. You'll be early. Set it right or you'll be 2 hours before time.

Most of my devices set themselves so except for getting confused when I watched the alarm clock and got mildly confused nothing really happened when we set the clocks.

Oops. Yeah I can never keep those things straight. Now, I feel dumb. If only we left those as they were all year round. It'd be so much easier.

I fell sorry for you guys, having to put up with something as stupid as Daylight Savings.
We don't have it where I live, so the only problem I've had is having to remember that TV shows come on an hour later than usual.

The rule is to set it towards summer. Back when the summer is over, ahead when the summer is coming up. Also I agree, but that might be because I live in a place where it seems pointless.
There's almost no daylight in the winter months, almost no night in the summer months so daylight savings hardly make a difference to me.

besides my biological clock being out of whack, Nope. I actually didn't notice because most of my clocks automatically switched leaving me wondering why I am so hungry an hour before I usually eat dinner.
