We all hear a story every year, sometimes twice each year, about someone who forgot to adjust his or her clock and showed up at work, or church, an hour before everyone else. Or, maybe the person arrived as the parking lot was emptying.
It is an embarrassing thing for the person who went into a cocoon for the weekend, and awkward for those around him, wondering how he was so oblivious to the world that he didn’t know to change the time on his clocks. Don’t be that guy, before you go to bed Saturday, move your clocks back one hour.
Unless you still own a flip phone, the clock on your phone will most likely do the work for you. So, if there is suddenly a discrepancy between the microwave clock and your phone Sunday morning, relax, grab a coffee, you still have an hour before you have to be anywhere.
Daylight saving time in the United States officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, unless you live in Hawaii or most of Arizona. The Navajo Nation in Arizona will fall back an hour this weekend, like the rest of the continental United States.
