Not to me. I want noon to be close to 12:00. Besides, it's just the microwave and the bedside clock-radio.

I checked the various clocks in the house and only one of them does not automagically update for the time switch. Heck, even the stove does so. I guess I will have to give the rice cooker and the car some TLC on Sunday.

I wonder what would happen if everyone just ignored DST and started showing up for work or school at the wrong time.

Not that much. We used to have some staff and students show up early after the fall change and late after the spring change. Though it's harder to claim ignorance these days when most of your devices will automatically change.

They can't ignore it. TV programs, public transport, airplane schedules and so on.

And not everyone hates DST. I love it.
