Daylight Saving Time

Sure, I'd love to get up an hour early, and then drive to work while it's still dark. Assholes.

Why do we even do it anymore? "Falling back" is great but "springing forward" sucks.

I ask the same question! Why is this still done?! It makes NO sense to keep it up anymore.

But Enoch, we must rise early to prepare for the harvest!

— Diana posted 5/29/2009

DST had nothing to do with the harvest. Farmers get up based on the sun, not some government clock. Also, DST is in the summer, so this peeve makes no sense. When we "fall back" we are switching out of DST back to standard time.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
